The Users Manual contains the necessary information to install,
program, and operate the Bulletin 1745 SLC Programmable Controllers.
The manual has been written with the assumption that the reader has a
basic knowledge of industrial relay control techniques. On this basis,
understanding and applying the controller should be simple and
straightforward.
We have divided the manual into three sections:
Introduces you to the controller components, discusses programming
basics as they apply specifically to SLC controllers, then shows you how to
use the pocket programmer. You will enter a simple program into
memory, in preparation for the next section.
Introduces you to the various instructions, beginning with relay-type
instructions, timers, and counters. It then moves on to the more complex
instructions, some of which combine two or three of the basic instructions.
Keystroke examples are included to help you gain an understanding of
how to apply the instructions to your particular needs. The section ends
with a summary of program editing techniques and on-line data control.
A chapter on using the optional EEPROM module is also included.
Contains the controller specifications and important information on
system layout, installation, and start-up. We have also included a
chapter on maintenance and troubleshooting.
This companion to the Users Manual is designed to
Help the first-time PC user gain an understanding of Bulletin 1745
SLC 100 and SLC 150 Programmable Controllers.
Supplement the programming portion of the Users Manual, providing
additional examples and exercises.
The Self-Teach Manual consists of 16 Question/Exercise (Q/E) units,
corresponding to Chapters 2 thru 17 of the Users Manual. We suggest
that after you read a chapter of the Users Manual, read it a second time,
then refer to the corresponding Question/Exercise Unit in the Self-Teach
Manual, where you will be asked questions, shown examples, and practice
programming.
We believe this to be an efficient technique in gaining an understanding
of Bulletin 1745 SLC Programmable Controllers.

Hard-Wired Control
Versus the Bulletin 1745
Introduction
These are microprocessor-based programmable controllers. They make
up a technologically advanced control system having the inherent
flexibility and advantages characteristic of other programmable
controllers-but with an important difference: Simplicity. They were
designed with the first-time user in mind.
You will find these controllers easy to program, operate, and maintain,
allowing you to take full advantage of their capabilities in the shortest
possible time.
A comparison of a hard-wired relay logic system and a system using the
SLC Programmable Controller will show the similarities which make
the Bulletin 1745 controller so easy to apply.
The following figure shows a hard wired relay control logic system. For
purposes of comparison, it is divided into sections, consisting of:
Input Devices, which include devices operated manually (push
buttons) and devices operated automatically (limit switches) by the
machine or process being controlled.
Relay Control Logic, consisting of relays, timers, etc. interconnected
to energize or de-energize output devices in response to the status of the
input devices, and in accordance with the logic designed into the circuit.
Output Devices, consisting of motor starters, solenoids, etc. which
control the machine or process.
A similar control system, using the Bulletin 1745 controller is shown
below. The only difference in this figure is that the relay control logic
section is replaced by the SLC Programmable Controller.
In place of hard-wired relay circuitry, the SLC Programmable
Controller uses programmed instructions,with relay-type symbology.
With the Bulletin 1745, you are still employing familiar relay logic
methods-but in a new way, which provides a great deal more flexibility.
Genera/ The diagrams above list the various SLC Programmable Controller
components. Diagram A indicates the components you can use with the
SLC 150 Processor Unit. Programming and monitoring devices, shown
at the left, include the pocket programmer, PC software interface
converter, and timer counter access terminal (TCAT). These devices
plug into the communication port of the processor.
I/O expansion units, shown at the right, are connected by cable to the
processor unit. They can be used in various combinations to obtain the
I/O configuration you require. If your application involves high speed
counting, you can also add high speed input modules.
The EEPROM memory module, shown in the center, plugs directly into
the processor unit.
Diagram B indicates the components you can use with the SLC 100
Processor Unit. These are the same components used with the SLC 150,
with one exception. The SLC 150 high speed input module can be used
with the SLC 150 processor unit only.
Important features are pointed out on the following pages:

Self-lifting pressure plates allow for easy wire insertion and secure
connections. Terminals accept two #14 AWG wires. The hinged
cover (shown in the open position) has write-on areas for
identification of external circuits. The terminal block is removable
for easy processor unit replacement.
2. Wiring terminals for 12 outputs. The removable terminal block has
the same construction as the line-input terminal block. Hinged cover
(shown in the open position) has write-on areas.
3. Color patch. Red, black, blue, green, purple, or yellow. Identifies the 6
processor unit versions. See General Specifications, Chapter 18.
4. Five red LED diagnostic indicators:
DC POWER - Indicates that the processor unit is energized and DC
power is being supplied.
PC RUN - Indicates the processor unit is in the Run mode.
CPU FAULT - Indicates the processor has detected an error in the
CPU, expansion units, or memory. Outputs are turned off and
operation is automatically stopped.
BATTERY LOW - An optional battery provides back-up power for
the CMOS RAM memory. This LED alerts you when the battery
voltage level has fallen below a threshold level.
FORCED I/O - Indicates that one or more input or output addresses
have been forced to an ON or OFF state.

5. Input power fuse compartment. If line terminal voltage is present but
the DC POWER LED is not lit, the fuse may be blown. Refer to
Chapter 22 for fuse replacement procedure.
6. Input status indicators. Twenty red LEDs, identified with address
numbers 1 thru 10 and 101 thru 110, corresponding to numbers below
the input wiring terminals. When an input circuit is energized, the
corresponding status indicator will be lit.
7. Output status indicators. Twelve red LEDs, identified with address
numbers 11 thru 16 and 111 thru 116, corresponding to numbers
above the output wiring terminals. When a programmed output
instruction is TRUE, the corresponding output status indicator will
be lit, and the corresponding output circuit will be energized.
8. Auto/Manual switch. This switch controls restarting of the processor
unit after a power loss, brown-out, or correction of a CPU fault.
Auto - On power-up, the processor runs thru its normal diagnostic
tests and then automatically enters the Run mode (if it was in the
Run mode at the last power-down).
Manual - On power-up, the processor runs thru its diagnostic tests
but will not enter the Run mode. To enter the Run mode, you must
move the switch to the auto position or use the pocket programmer (or
personal computer).
9. E EPROM memory module compartment. The optional memory
module can be plugged into the processor. (Cat. No. is 1745-Ml. SLC
150 processor requires a Series B module or a Series A module having
a 28-pin chip.) The pocket programmer or personal computer
software allows you to store your processor RAM program in the
EEPROM. You can also load a program from the EEPROM into the
processor RAM. In addition, the processor unit has an Auto-Load
feature.
Further details on using the EEPROM module appear in Chapter 17.
We recommend that you install an EEPROM memory
module. This will provide maximum protection against user
program loss or program alteration due to capacitor back-up drain,
battery back-up drain, processor malfunction, or excessive noise.
10. Communication port. The pocket programmer, interface converter,
or TCAT cable is plugged into this socket.
11. Socket for connecting an expansion unit or high speed input module.
Weve included a 20-pin to 10-pin ribbon cable with the processor
unit. Save this cable. You will need it if you want to connect an I/O
expansion unit to the processor unit or if you want to connect both a
high speed input module and an expansion unit.
12. Battery compartment. An optional battery assembly can be
installed in this compartment. This will provide a typical 2-3 year
back-up power for the CMOS RAM memory.
Standard back-up power (1-2 weeks) is provided by a capacitor.
Under certain conditions, battery back-up is preferable. Refer to
General Specifications (Chapter 18) for further information.

Ladder Diagram Format
Instructions
Programming
Basics
The programming format for SLC controllers is the ladder diagram,
which uses symbology similar to hard-wired relay ladder circuits.
Figure 3.1 shows a relay ladder rung as used in hard-wired relay control
systems and a similar PC ladder rung as used in programming the SLC
controller. With the relay ladder rung, electrical continuity is required
to energize the output, whereas in the PC ladder rung, logical continuity
is required to energize the output.
In the PC ladder rung of Figure 3.1, the individual symbols represent
instructions; the numbers 001, 003, and Oil are the instruction
addresses. When programming the controller, these instructions are
entered one-by-one into the processor memory from the pocket
programmer keyboard. Instructions are stored in the user program
portion of the processor memory.
Some of the instructions entered are used to represent the external input
and output devices connected to the processor unit; other instructions
are "internal, used to establish the exact conditions under which the
processor will energize or de-energize output devices in response to the
status of input devices.
The memory storage unit for instructions is the word, with most
instructions occupying one word of memory storage space.

Chapter Programming Basics
Instruction Addressing To complete the entry of an instruction, you must assign an address
number to it. This number identifies the function of an instruction and
links it to a particular status bit in the data table portion of the memory.
The status bits in the data table can be either ON (logic 1 state) or OFF
(logic 0 state), indicating the TRUE/FALSE status of the instructions
they are associated with.
Figure 3.2 is a simplified representation of the user program and data
table areas of the processor memory.

Instructions are stored in
the same order you enter
them. During Operation,
the processor carries out
these instructions in this

Most instructions occupy
one word of storage
space. 885 words are
available in the SLC TOO,
1200 words in the SLC 150.
The address number you
assign to an instruction
associates it with a
particular status bit.
This bit will be either ON
{logic 1) or OFF (logic 0),
i ndicating whether the
instruction is TRUE or
FALSE.
During operation, the
processor examines this
information and updates
it according to logical
continuity rules.

CAUTION: Interchanging programs between controllers could cause improper
operation and damage equipment. You must be especially cautious when
interchanging programs between SLC 150 and SLC 100 controllers, because of
differences associated with certain internal addresses and other variations.

Programming Basics
I/O Addresses I/O addresses are used in your program to represent the input and
output circuits connected to the processor unit and I/O expansion units.
There are 112 I/O addresses available to you. These are divided into 7
address blocks (10 input addresses and 6 output addresses per block).
The SLC 150 processor unit, having 32 I/O, uses blocks 1 and 2. The SLC
100 processor unit, having 16 I/O, uses block 1.
You can connect various combinations of SLC 150 and SLC 100 I/O
expansion units to your processor unit. Assigning addresses is simple,
once you understand how processor "address blocks are allocated.
Figure 3.4 identifies the address blocks and summarizes the address
block requirements for the various processor and expansion units.

An example of how condition and output instructions are used is shown
in the ladder diagram of Figure 3.6. The Examine ON and Examine OFF
instructions (conditional) are analogous to relay contacts, while the
Output Energize instruction is analogous to a relay coil. However, this
diagram must be evaluated in terms of logical continuity rather than
electrical continuity.

Ladder diagram rung. A continuous path of TRUE condition
instructions is required to make the output Instruction TRU E.
As stated earlier, each instruction is linked to a status bit in the data
table. The bit will be either ON or OFF to indicate the status of the
instruction. Thus, with the Examine ON instruction we are asking the
controller to "examine the status bit for an ON condition. If the status
bit is ON, then the instruction is TRUE; if the bit is OFF, then the
instruction is FALSE.
Similarly, the Examine OFF instruction means "examine the status bit
for an OFF condition. If the status bit is OFF, the instruction is TRUE;
if the bit is ON, the instruction is FALSE.
The Output Energize instruction asks the controller to "set the status bit
of the addressed Output Energize instruction to ON when rung
conditions are TRUE. Thus, in Figure 3.6, when both the Examine ON
instruction and the Examine OFF instruction are TRUE, the status bit
of the Output Energize instruction will be set to ON.
In terms of continuity: When there is a continuous path of TRUE
conditional instructions in a rung, logical continuity exists; accordingly,
the output instruction is TRUE and its status bit will be set ON. If any
conditional instruction in the continuity path goes FALSE, logical
continuity is lost; the output instruction is then FALSE and its status
bit will be set to OFF.
3-8
Chapter Programming Basics
External The user program always includes instructions to represent external
I/O Devices devices connected to the processor and expansion units. The processor
examines the status of these external devices indirectly.
Thus, in Figure 3.7a, the limit switch contact connected to input
terminal 3 causes a voltage to be present at the terminal when the
switch is closed, and removes this voltage when the switch is opened.
The processor senses these voltage levels, and sets the status bit of the
instruction representing the limit switch to ON for the closed condition
and OFF for the open condition.
If an Examine ON instruction is used to represent the limit switch
contact, the open condition makes the instruction logically FALSE, and
the closed condition makes it logically TRUE.
If an Examine OFF instruction is used to represent the limit switch
contact, the open condition makes the instruction logically TRUE, and
the closed condition makes it logically FALSE. Figure 3.7b summarizes
both the Examine ON and Examine OFF cases.
Figure 3.7b also summarizes the Output Energize instruction as it
applies to an external I/O address. In this case, if the status bit of the
instruction is ON, the corresponding output contact (Figure 3.7a) closes,
energizing the external device. If logical continuity of the rung is lost,
the status bit is changed to OFF; the output contact opens, de
energizing the external device.

Processor
Operating Cycle
During each operating cycle, the processor examines the status of input
devices, executes the user program, and changes outputs accordingly.
For a typical 500 word program, the SLC 150 controller repeats this
cycle about 500 times each second; with the SLC 100, the cycle is
repeated about 67 times each second.
A single operating cycle or scan is shown in Figure 3.8. Note that the
cycle is divided into two parts - the I/O scan and the program scan.
I/O Scan In the I/O scan, data associated with external outputs is transferred
from the data table to the output terminals. (This data was up-dated
during the preceding program scan.) In addition, input terminals are
examined, and the associated status bits are changed accordingly.
Program Scan The updated status of the input devices is applied to the user program
during this part of the cycle. The processor executes the entire list of
instructions in the same order they were entered. Status bits are
updated according to logical continuity rules as the program scan moves
from instruction to instruction thru successive ladder rungs. (If you use
an instruction with a unique address more than once in your program,
the solution of the rung in which the instruction last appears takes
precedence. An example appears in Chapter 9, Page 9-3.)
The I/O scan and program scan are separate, independent functions.
Thus, any status changes occurring in external input devices during the
program scan are not accounted for until the next I/O scan. Similarly,
data changes associated with external outputs are not transferred to the
outputs until the next I/O scan. Exception: If you are using the high
speed input module (SLC 150 only), the operating cycle is interrupted to
allow the processor unit to count high speed input signals and
immediately set processor unit outputs associated with SQO instructions
901-904. This is illustrated below.

individual instructions appear on Pages 18-13 and 18-14.
Note: Scan time can vary significantly depending on program content,
program length, and expansion units connected. Also, with the SLC
150, scan time increases if you are using high speed input modules.
Scan times in excess of 100 milliseconds will be detected by the processor
and cause system shutdown. You can measure your scan time using the
techniques described on Page 8-4.

Display The display window of the programmer is shown in Figure 4.2. The
LEDs in the upper portion illuminate when instructions are entered,
edited or monitored. Addresses, data, prompt messages, and other
information is presented on the 7-segment displays located below the
LEDs.
Figure 4.2
In this typical display, the cursor is located at an Examine OFF
instruction, address 008. It is the first instruction in rung 3 of the
program, and its current status is TRUE :
1. Illuminated LED indicates the cursor position, that is, the instruction being
entered, edited dr monitored. In this case, the Examine OFF LED is illuminated.
2. Four-character digital display shows instruction addresses and other
information. The symbol at the left indicates that the cursored instruction is at
the beginning of the rung. The number 8 at the right indicates the instruction
1 address, 008.
3. TRUE/FALSE status indicator. It is illuminated, indicating that the Examine OFF
instruction is TRUE. This indicator functions only in the Run or Test mode.
4. Three-character digital display shows rung, mode, or error code number. In this
case, the display indicates that we are in rung 3 of the program.
After you enter a program, you can move thru it from one instruction to another by
pressing the NEXT and LAST keys.

When you apply power to the processor unit, the DC ON indicator should
light, indicating that DC voltage is being supplied to the internal logic
circuitry.
When you turn the pocket programmer switch on, the programmer
display will show "SLC-100 and automatically go thru a series of
diagnostic checks; it then displays the operating mode it was left in
when last used. (If the programmer displays an error, follow the
procedure described in "New Processors at the bottom of this page.)
To be certain that you are beginning with the processor memory cleared,
enter the Clear Memory mode. To do this, press

if you are using an SLC 150 processor. This indicates that you are at the
end of the program and there are 885 (or 1200) words remaining in
memory. Since the memory capacity is 885 (or 1200) words, this also
tells you that the program length is zero words.
Note that the LED labeled PROG is lit. This indicates you are in the

If this is the first time the processor unit is being used since it left the
factory, the programmer will detect a series of errors in memory. Clear
each error by pressing the CANCEL CMD key after the error is
displayed.
After you clear the errors, you must clear the processor memory. Press
MODE, 1, ENTER, ENTER. This clears the memory and places the
processor in the Program mode.

Using an Access Code
(Password)
Mode Selection
You can restrict access to the processor memory by entering a 3-digit
access code or "password. To do this, enter mode 8 (Enter/Change
Access Code) by pressing MODE, 8, ENTER. Then enter any 3-digit
number from 001 to 999 except 356, 712, or 940. Finally, press ENTER.
The access code is now stored in the user program.
Each time you use the pocket programmer (any pocket programmer),
you will be prompted for the access code with the display "PAS; you
must enter the correct code and press ENTER before the processor will
enter the mode it was left in when last used.
The access code will also protect the contents of an EEPROM memory
module. If an access code has been stored in an EEPROM, you will be
required to enter the code before the processor will execute this program
(Chapter 17).
If you want to change your code, enter your code as you normally would,
then re-enter mode 8 and press the new code and ENTER when
prompted for a code.
If you no longer want the processor to be protected by a code, re-enter
mode 8 and press 0, ENTER when prompted for a code.
An access code can be overriden. To do this, press 9, 4, 0, ENTER,
INSERT when prompted for a code. Important: The processor will no
longer be protected by the access code. It must be re-entered.
Operating modes are described in detail on Page 4-3. You can select a
particular mode as follows:
1. Press the MODE key. The programmer will display the symbol and
number of the current mode, for example
P
r n
9 E
2. Press the numerical key corresponding to the particular mode you
want. Your mode will be shown on the display.
Alternately, you can press the NEXT or LAST key repeatedly until
your mode appears on the display.
3. Press the ENTER key. If you selected mode 2, 3, 4, 5, or 9, you are
now in that mode.
If you selected mode 1, press ENTER a second time.
Entering modes 6 and 7 are discussed in detail in Chapter 17.
Entering mode 8 is discussed in the paragraph above, "Using an
Access Code (Password).
Note: When you enter the Run mode (3), outputs in your program are
enabled. When you change from the Run mode to any other mode,
outputs will be disabled.

Error Codes -SLC100 The error code numbers which may appear on the programmer display
and SLC 150 are defined in Figure 4.8. This information also appears on the back of
the pocket programmer.
Internal processor errors (codes 1-9) are those occurring in the processor
circuitry or the memory. When any of these errors occur, the "CPU
Fault LED on the processor unit will light, and all outputs will be
disabled.
Error codes 10-59 identify communication, expansion unit, EEPROM,
and programmer hardware problems (code 27 applies to SLC 150 only).
Programming errors (codes 60-67) are user errors indicating that you
have used an invalid procedure, entered incorrect or incomplete data,
etc. In most cases, the errors are easily understood and remedied;
occasionally, it may be necessary to review the proper keystroke
sequence for the particular programming operation you are attempting.
The procedure for correcting programming errors is to 1) read the error
description, 2) press the CANCEL CMD key, which returns the display
to the point it was at before the error was made, then 3) take corrective
action as determined by the nature of the error.

Chapter Relay Type Instructions
Examine ON,
Examine OFF,
Output Energize
These instructions were already explained (Pages 3-6, 3-7). A user
program applying them is shown in Figure 5.1. This figure shows a
hard-wired circuit and a user program which provides the same results.
Programmed instructions with addresses 733 and 734 are internal.
They do not represent external I/O devices. On the other hand,
instructions 001, 002, Oil, 012, and 013 represent limit switches LSI,
LS2, and pilot lights PLI, PL2, PL3.
You will note similarities between the hard-wired circuit and the user
program. Thus, when relay coil CRl in the hard-wired circuit is
energized, its normally open and normally closed contacts in rungs 3, 4,
and 5 operate, or change state. Similarly, when Output Energize
instruction 733 in the user program goes TRUE, its associated Examine
ON and Examine OFF instructions in rungs 3, 4, and 5 change their
TRUE/FALSE state.
In comparing the diagrams, you will also discover an apparent
contradiction. That is, normally open limit switch LSI and normally
closed limit switch LS2 are both represented in the program by an
Examine ON instruction. This makes sense when you consider that
rungs 1 and 2 must accomplish the same thing: The rung must be TRUE
when the external limit switch is closed, and FALSE when the limit
switch is open. Using an Examine ON instruction to represent the limit
switch satisfies these requirements. The N.O./N.C. mechanical action of
the switch is not a consideration.

Equivalent User The function of the hard-wired circuit in Figure 5.1 can be achieved with
Programs another, simpler program-the 3-rung ladder diagram in Figure 5.2.
Again, instructions 001 and 002 represent limit switches LSI and LS2;
instructions Oil, 012, and 013 represent pilot lights PLI, PL2, and PL3.
The ladder diagram of Figure 5.2 does not use internal instructions to
represent hard-wired relays CR1 and CR2. Instead, instruction
addresses 001 and 002 are used repeatedly to obtain the logical
continuity equivalent to the electrical continuity of rungs 3, 4, and 5 of
the hard-wired circuit.

Unconditional
Output Energize
It is possible to enter a rung consisting of an Output Energize
instruction only. Since the rung lacks a condition instruction, the
output will be continuously TRUE. Although the unconditional Output
Energize has a few specialized applications, it is generally an
undesirable programming procedure which you should be careful to
avoid.
Branch Instructions These are used to create parallel paths of condition instructions,
allowing more than one set of conditions (OR logic) to establish
continuity in a rung. Figure 5.3 illustrates a branching condition. The
rung will be TRUE if either instruction 001 or instruction 002 is TRUE.
To program branch instructions with the pocket programmer:
1) Press the Branch Open key before entering the first instruction of
each parallel path.
2) Press the Branch Close key after entering the last instruction of the
last branch.
The ladder diagram of Figure 5.3 illustrates the use of branch
instructions. To program this rung, press the following keys:

Chapter
The Nested Branch
5-5
A nested branch (branch within a branch) cannot be programmed, but
you can program an equivalent branching condition. This is shown in
the figure below.
Figure 5.4
- Rung B, equivalent to rung A, can be programmed.
5-6
Output Latch, These retentive instructions are used as a pair at the same address.
Output Unlatch
When a rung containing an Output Latch instruction goes TRUE, the
Output Latch status bit is set to ON. The bit can only be turned OFF by
an Output Unlatch instruction located in a separate rung. This is
summarized in Figure 5.5.
The Latch/Unlatch instruction status is retained when you change from
the Run mode to another mode. Thus, in the example of Figure 5.5, if
you change from the Run mode to any other mode while status bit 015 is
ON, the external output device will be de-energized, but the status bit
will remain ON; when you return to the Run mode, the output device
will again be energized.
The Latch/Unlatch instruction status is also retained on power loss,
since the processor memory is provided with battery back-up.
Operation after CPU Faults: Latch instructions are reset to their
initial conditions after a CPU fault is detected (error codes 1 thru 9, 26,
and 51).

Timer
Instructions
Timer instructions include the Retentive Timer On-Delay -(RTO)- and
the Retentive Timer Off-Delay -(RTF)-. Both require the use of the
Reset instruction -(RST)-. Timer instructions are represented by the
following symbols:
901
(RTO)------
PR 400.0
901
PR 400.0
Address: 901-932. Time base: 0.1 second. Range: 000.1 to 999.9 seconds.
Timers with long or fine time base: Special instructions can be used
for time delays beyond 999,9 seconds and for timers with greater
resolution than 0.1 second. Refer to Chapter 8.
6
I
The timer instruction functions as an internal "clock, counting
0.1-second intervals. The number of intervals counted is called the
Accumulated value (AC). Counting takes place under these
TRUE/FALSE rung conditions:
RTO Timer Rung Conditions
TRUE FALSE TRUE
Timer is
counting.
Counting
stops.
AC value
retained.
Counting
resumes.
AC value represents the cumulative
time during which rung is TRUE.
RTF Timer Rung Conditions
FALSE TRUE FALSE
Timer is
counting.
Counting
stops.
AC value
retained.
Counting
resumes.
AC value represents the cumulative
time during which rung is FALSE.
The clock figure below represents the AC value. The time delay is set by
programming a Preset value (PR). In this case, the PR value is set at
400.0 seconds.
The figure also shows a Reset Accumulated value (RAC) at 0000. This is
automatically set when you program the reset instruction. In most
cases, RAC is left at 0000, but you can change it to any value up to 9999.
If you program an RAC value, the time delay will equal PR minus RAC.
You will find that the programmer display does not show a decimal point
for RAC values. Thus, if you program PR to 30.8 and RAC to 105, the
time delay will be 30.8 minus 10.5 = 20.3 seconds.

Status and Overflow Bits The timer status bit has the same address as the timer instruction:
901 901
Hh Hh
The RTO status bit is set ON when the AC value reaches the PR value.
Examine ON instructions at the status bit address go TRUE; Examine
OFF instructions go FALSE.
The RTF status bit is set ON instantaneously when the RTF instruction
goes TRUE, and is set OFF when the AC value reaches the PR value.
Examine ON instructions at the status bit address go FALSE; Examine
OFF instructions go TRUE.
The overflow bit is given the timer address plus 50. (901 + 50 = 951):
The overflow bit is set to ON when the AC value "overflows from 999.9
to 0000. Examine ON instructions at the overflow bit address go TRUE;
Examine OFF instructions go FALSE. RTO and RTF status bits are not
affected when the AC value overflows.
951 951
Hh Hh
RAC 0000
When the RST instruction goes TRUE, status bits and overflow bits are
set to OFF, and the AC value is reset to the RAC value. The RST
instruction must go FALSE again before the timer can resume counting.

Power Down: The timer status is retentive. When you apply power
after a power-down, the AC value and ON/OFF states of status and
overflow bits will be the same as before the power-down. The status is
also retained when going from the Run mode to another mode.
Operation after CPU Faults: Timer instructions and associated
status bits and data values are reset to their initial conditions after a
CPU fault is detected (error codes 1 thru 9, 26, and 51).
Monitoring and Changing Data: PR and AC values can be monitored
and changed in the Run and Test modes. The PR value can be protected
from changes in the Run and Test modes by using the UNPRT/PRT key.

Retentive Timer As pointed out on Page 6-1, the AC value of the RTO timer increments
On-Delay (RTO) when the RTO rung is TRUE. This is illustrated in the figure below,
which shows an RTO timer ladder diagram and timing diagram.
For illustrative purposes, both Examine ON and Examine OFF
instructions are used at the timer status bit address, 901. These
instructions are used to energize output 015 and de-energize output 016
when the AC value reaches the programmed PR value.
The timing diagram illustrates the retentive nature of the timer, in
effect, the timer measures the cumulative periods during which the
timer rung (1) is TRUE. The AC value will continue to increment
during TRUE rung periods as long as the reset rung (4) remains FALSE.
On the count after 999.9, an overflow bit (not used here) is set ON and
the AC value continues to increment from 0000.
After the timer is reset and rung 1 goes TRUE again, the timing period
will begin at AC RAC. In most applications, the RAC value would be
0000. We chose to show a non-zero value for illustrative purposes.

Timer Instructions Chapter
6-5
Retentive Timer The essential difference between the RTO and RTF timers is that with
Off-Delay (RTF) the RTF timer, the AC value increments when the timer rung goes
FALSE rather than TRUE.
Figure 6.2 shows an RTF timer ladder diagram and the corresponding
timing diagram. For illustrative purposes, both Examine ON and
Examine OFF instructions are used at the timer status bit address, 901.
These instructions are used to de-energize output 015 and energize
output 016 when the AC value reaches the programmed PR value.
Here again, the timing diagram illustrates the retentive nature of the
timer. After rung 1 makes a TRUE-FALSE transition, the timer
measures the cumulative periods during which rung 1 is FALSE. The
AC value will continue to increment during FALSE rung periods as long
as the reset rung (4) remains FALSE. On the count after 999.9, an
overflow bit (not used here) is set ON and the AC value continues to
increment from 0000.

instruction 901 goes FALSE, making rung 2 FALSE.

Timing Beyond 999.9 Special instructions at addresses 874 and 875 have time bases of 0.5 and
Seconds 1.0 seconds, allowing you to program the equivalent of an RTO timer
with time delays beyond 999.9 seconds. This is discussed in Chapter 8.
You can also use the instructions discussed in this chapter to obtain time
delays beyond 999.9 seconds. An example is shown below, where the
overflow bit of one RTO timer initiates a second RTO timer to produce
an output at 1400 seconds.
Timer 901 in rung 1 is used for the first part of the timing period and
timer 902 in rung 2 is used for the last part. The Examine ON
instruction 001 of rung 1 is repeated in rung 2, so that if timing is
interrupted during the last part of the timing period, the AC value will
stop incrementing, preventing an output in rung 3.

CTU and CTD Counter
Characteristics
AC, PR, and RAC
Values
Counter
Instructions
Counter instructions include the Up Counter-(CTU)- and the Down
Counter -(CTD)-. Both are retentive, requiring the use of the Reset
instruction-(RST)-. Counter instructions are represented by the
following symbols:
901 901
(CTU)--------- (CTD)-----------------
PR 1000 PR 1000
Address: 901-932. Internal. Range: 1 to 9999 counts.
Counter instructions count successive FALSE-to-TRUE transitions of
the rung containing the counter instruction. After each count, the rung
must return to FALSE before another count can take place.
The existing count is called the Accumulated value (AC). For up
counters, the AC value increases by 1 for each FALSE-TRUE transition.
For down counters, the AC value decreases by 1 for each FALSE-TRUE
transition.
Up-down counters have both an up counter rung and a down counter
rung. Accordingly, the AC value both increases and decreases,
responding to FALSE-TRUE transitions in both rungs.
The clock figure below represents the AC value. An output can be
obtained at a particular count by programming a Preset value (PR). In
this case, the PR value is set at 1000.
The figure also shows a Reset Accumulated value (RAC) at 0000. This is
automatically set when you program the reset instruction. You can
either leave it at 0000, or change it to any value up to 9999.
RAC

Chapter Counter instructions
Setting a Counter
Status and
Overflow!Underflow Bits
Reset Instruction
Up counters can be reset to begin counting at AC RAC and produce an
output at AC = PR. To obtain an output at 1000 counts, just set the PR
value to 1000. Or, since RAC can be programmed to any value, you
might set the PR value at 1500 and the RAC value at 0500, etc.
Up-down counters add and subtract counts, starting at AC = RAC, and
produce an output at AC = PR. Thus, if you set RAC at 500 and PR at
1500, an output will be produced whenever the up counts exceed the
down counts by 1000.
The counter status bit has the same address as the counter instruction:
901 901
I \~ Hr
-
The status bit is set ON when the AC value reaches the PR value.
Examine ON instructions at the status bit address go TRUE; Examine
OFF instructions go FALSE.
Overflow and underflow bits are assigned the counter address plus 50.
(901 + 50 = 951):
951 951
I \
The overflow bit is set ON when the AC value "overflows from a count
of 9999 to 0000. The underflow bit is set ON when the AC value "under
flows from 0000 to 9999. Examine ON instructions at the overflow/
underflow bit address go TRUE; Examine OFF instructions go FALSE.
CTU status bits are not affected when the AC value overflows. CTD
status bits will be set ON if the AC value underflows making AC > PR.
The reset (RST) instruction is given the same address as the counter
instruction:
RAC 0000
When the RST instruction goes TRUE, the status, overflow, and under
flow bits are reset to OFF, and the AC value is reset to the RAC value.
The RST instruction must go FALSE again before counting can resume.
Chapter Counter Instructions

Typical Up Counter
Operation
The table below indicates how the status and overflow bits of counters
change state as the AC value increments from 1) the reset state
(AC = RAC), 2) up to and past the PR value, 3) beyond a value of 9999
(overflow), and 4) back to the reset state.
Power Down: The counter status is retentive. When you apply power
after a power-down, the AC value and the ON/OFF states of status and
overflow/underflow bits will be the same as before power-down. The
status is also retained when going from the Run mode to another mode.
Operation after CPU Faults: Counter instructions and associated
Monitoring and Changing Data: PR and AC values can be monitored
and changed in the Run and Test modes. The PR value can be protected
from changes in the Run and Test modes by using the UNPRT/PRT key.

Up Counter (CTU) As pointed out on Page 7-1, the AC value of the CTU counter increases
by one for each FALSE-to-TRUE transition occurring in the CTU
counter rung. This is illustrated in Figure 7.1, which shows a CTU
counter ladder diagram and the corresponding timing diagram.
For illustrative purposes, both Examine ON and Examine OFF
instructions are used at the counter status bit address, 901. These
instructions are used to energize output 015 and de-energize output 016
when the AC value reaches the PR value.

IB. Rung 1 goes from FALSE to TRUE, causing the AC value
to increase by one. The rung then returns to FALSE.
This cycle repeats again and again, wfth the AC value
increasing by one count for each FALSE-TRUE
transition. . -
i C. The AC value has reached the programmed PR value.
Examine ON instruction 901 goes TRUE, making rung 2
TRUE:; {Examine OFF instruction901 goes FALSE,
making rung 3 FALSE.
D. The AC value continues to increase for each FALSE-
TRUE transition of rung 1. Rung 2 remains TRUE. Rung
3 remains FALSE.
E. Rung 4 goes TRUE. The AC value is reset to the
programmed RAC vale. Examine ON instruction 901
goes FALSE, making rung 2 FALSE. Examine OFF
If the counter is not reset as done in event E, the AC value
continues to increase for FALSE-TRUE counter rung
transitions. On the count after 9999, an overflow bit is set
ON and the AC value continues to increment from 0000.
VVhtle the RST instruction iS TRUE, the counter is
disabled. Counting can resume when rung 4 goes
FALSE again;

Up-Down Counter This counter includes a CTU instruction and a CTD instruction which
share the same address (including status and overflow/underflow
addresses). AC, PR, and RAC values are also shared. This is illustrated
in Figure 7.3, which shows an up-down counter programmed to produce
two outputs:
The first output is energized when the AC value reaches 9000, then de
energized when the AC value overflows beyond 9999. In terms of counts,
this output is energized only when the net count (up counts minus down
counts) is within the range of 3000 to 3999.
The second output is energized when the AC value overflows beyond
9999, that is, when the net count is 4000 or more.
We are assuming that the AC value does not underflow below 0000.

Counting
Beyond 9999
When it is necessary to count beyond 9999, one way of accomplishing it
is by programming the counter shown in Figure 7.4.
The overflow bit of counter 901 initiates a single count in counter 902 at
a count of 10,000. Status bits of both counters are programmed in series
to produce an output when an additional 3000 counts are made by
counter 901.

Chapter Timers with Long or
Fine Time Base
General Timers using the long time base and fine time base instructions have the
following applications:
Long time base instructions
Time basesof 0.5 sec and 1.0 sec. These instructions allow you to
program counter-type timers with long time delays, up to 9999
seconds.
With SLC 150 processor unit Catalog Nos. 1745-LP151 and 1745-
LP152, the 1.0 sec time base is derived from the AC line frequency,
useful in "real time clock applications.
Fine time base instructions
Choice of 4 time bases plus the scan rate time base. Allows you to
program timers with greater resolution than the 0.1 sec provided by
the standard timers.
Long time base and fine time base timers use a standard up counter
instruction with a special examine instruction representing the time
base. This provides the equivalence of an RTO timer. An example
appears in Figure 8.1.

The timer in Figure 8.3 illustrates how the long time base instruction
can be used. When instruction 006 in rung 1 is TRUE, Examine ON
instruction 875 pulses ON and OFF, incrementing the AC value of
counter 901. This provides the equivalence of an RTO timer.
Instruction 875 has a time base of 1.0 second. If an AC powered SLC 150
processor is used, timing will be synchronized with the AC line
frequency.

Fine Time
Base instruction
8-3
The fine time base instruction allows you to program timers with
greater resolution than the 0.1 sec provided by the standard timers.
The special internal addresses and corresponding time increments
(resolution) are indicated in Figure 8.4 (upper table). To use these
addresses, you must first measure the scan time of your program, then
refer to the lower table of Figure 8.4 and choose an address compatible
with your application needs and the measured scan time.
For proper operation, do not use an address number lower (shorter time
increment) than the lowest specified for your particular scan time.
Exception: You can always use address 869, which pulses ON and OFF
in time with your scan. This provides a time increment equal to twice
your scan time. But keep in mind that the scan time of a particular
program can vary, and the time increment using address 869 will vary
accordingly.
Caution: If you are using the Zero-Cross Turn-On instruction in
your program, your scan time will be 8.3 msec (or some multiple of 8.3
msec) at 60 Hz, and 10 msec (or some multiple of 10 msec) at 50 Hz.
This will be a deciding factor when applying the instructions listed in
Figure 8.4.

Procedure for Using the Add the required fine time base timers to your program. An example
Fine Time Base Instruction appears in Figure 8.5 below. Since you do not as yet know the scan time
of your program, use any of the special internal addresses, and leave the
counter PR value at 0000.

Procedure for Using the
Fine Time Base Instruction
(continued)
8-5
2. Enter the Test-Continuous Scan mode (5), then immediately turn off
the programmer (measurement will be more accurate if the
programmer is off).
3. RTO 932 will measure the time it takes to perform 1000 scans. For a
typical SLC 100 program, this would be 15 seconds (15 milliseconds x
1000); for the SLC 150, it would be 4 seconds (4 milliseconds x 1000).
Leave the programmer off long enough to assure that scan time
measurement is complete (2 minutes would be a safe off time). Now
turn the programmer back on and monitor the AC value of the RTO
instruction at address 932.
4. Take note of the final AC value displayed. Subtract 1.0 millisecond
from this value (0.5 millisecond is added to your program by the scan
time measurement rungs and another 0.5 millisecond is added
because of Test mode sub-routines). The resultant is the scan time of
your program, measured in milliseconds.
Note: Your scan time will vary. Some conditions which increase scan
time:
The pocket programmer is turned On.
The TCAT is connected.
Input pulses to an HSI module are being counted (SLC 150 only).
User program instructions are currently being executed.
We recommend that you take several scan time measurements, under
various conditions. This will give you an understanding of scan time
variance for your application. When you repeat the scan time
measurement, you must first reset counter 931 and timer 932 to zero.
5. Delete the scan time measurement rungs (Figure 8.6).
You can now change the address of the fine time base instruction to an
address compatible with Figure 8.4 (lower table) on Page 8-3.
Now set the PR value of the up counter. The time delay in milliseconds
will be the PR value multiplied by the time increment specified for the
special internal address you selected. In the example of Figure 8.5,
address 870 and a PR value of 5 are used, providing a time delay of 50
milliseconds (5 x 10 milliseconds). If you select address 869, the time
delay in milliseconds will be your PR value times twice your measured
scan rate.

MCR and ZCL
Instruction
Characteristics
MCR and ZCL
Instructions
The following are special relay-type instructions.
Master Control Reset -(MCR)- (No address required) .
Zone Control Last State -(ZCL)- (No address required).
Figure 9.1a illustrates MCR and ZCL zones. Note that a zone begins
with a start rung and ends with an end rung. The MCR and ZCL
instructions are outputs in these rungs, and do not require an address.
The start rung contains the condition instructions which control the
zone. The end rung contains the MCR or ZCL instruction only. Any
number of rungs can be programmed between the start and end rungs.
When the start rung is TRUE, output instructions in the zone function
normally. When the start rung goes FALSE, non-retentive outputs
within an MCR zone are de-energized; non-retentive outputs in a ZCL
zone remain in their last state. The effect on non-retentive and
retentive instructions is summarized in Figure 9.1a.
Multiple MCR and ZCL zones can be programmed. With the SLC 150,
ZCL zones can be nested (Page 9-4). MCR zones should not be nested.

ZCL Zones Using the
Same Outputs
9 3
You may use two or more ZCL zones in your program. Multiple ZCL
zones allow you to use the same output instruction several times in your
program without experiencing contention between them. Figure 9.2
shows how this works.
If zone control were not included in Figure 9.2, the output instruction
that appears last in the program would govern the state of the external
output; using multiple zones avoids this. To avoid contention between
the output instructions, only one ZCL zone should be TRUE at a time.

In this case, output 011 is controlled by instruc
tion 004 in Zone 8. This is because zne B is
scanned after zone A and therefore takes
precedence.

Chapter
Nesting ZCL Zones SLC 100: You cannot nest ZCL zones (place one zone within another)
with the SLC 100 processor unit. It will produce undesired results.
SLC 150: Up to eight ZCL zones can be nested together. Figure 9.3
illustrates three nested zones. Note that each zone has a conditional
start rung and an unconditional end rung. ZCL zone A controls outputs
in programs A, B, and C. Zone B controls outputs in programs B and C.
Zone C controls outputs in program C.
An outer zone must be TRUE in order for internal zones to control their
outputs. If an outer zone is FALSE, all outputs within internal zones are
held in their last state, regardless of the rung conditions of the internal
zones.
Error code 27-5: If ZCL zones are nested deeper than eight zones, or if
each start rung is not accompanied by an end rung, a processor fault will
occur and error code 27-5 will be displayed on the pocket programmer.
This prompts you to correct the condition.

MCR andZCL Instructions
vs a Master Control Relay
9-5
In some respects, the function of MCR and ZCL instructions is similar to
a hard-wired master control relay of a relay system, which can be wired
to control the overall function of several operations, based on certain
necessary conditions. An important distinction must be made, however:
The master control relay is a safety device, providing Emergency Stop
capability to the controller operator; with MCR and ZCL instructions,
this is not the case.
We strongly recommend that you install a hard-wired master control
relay to provide emergency I/O power shut-down. Refer to Pages 19-4
and 19-5 for wiring details.
Chapter Sequencer
Instructions
SQO and SQI
Sequencer
Characteristics
Sequencer instructions include the Sequencer Output -(SQO)- and the
Sequencer Input -(SQI)-. Both are retentive, requiring the use of the
Reset instruction. You will find that sequencer instructions will be
easier to understand if you first become familiar with timer and counter
instructions.
Sequencer instructions are represented by the following symbols:
901 901
(SQO)------ ---- (SQI)-----
Address: 901-932 (internal). 100 steps maximum.
High Speed Input Module Applications (SLC 150 only): Sequencer
Output instructions at addresses 901, 902, 903, and 904 are used in
programming high speed input modules. Refer to Chapter 12 for
programming details.
If you are not using high speed input modules, addresses 901,902, 903,
and 904 can be used for standard timer, counter, and sequencer
programming.
Time- Or Event-Driven Sequencers can be time-driven or event-driven. Operation involves an
Accumulated value (AC) and a Preset value (PR).
Time-driven sequencers count 0.1-second intervals while the sequencer
rung is TRUE. When the AC value reaches the PR value, the sequencer
advances to the next step and the AC value increments from 0000 again.
After the final step, the sequencer continues with step 0.
Event-driven sequencers count FALSE-TRUE transitions of the
sequencer rung. When the AC value reaches the PR value, the
sequencer advances to the next step and the AC value increments from
0000 again. After the final step, the sequencer continues with step 0.
The Sequencer Output (SQO) instruction sets the ON/OFF status of up
to 8 bit addresses for each step. This group of bit addresses can be
selected as either 6 external output addresses plus 2 internal addresses,
or as 8 internal addresses.
The Sequencer Input (SQI) instruction examines the ON/OFF status of
up to 8 bit addresses for each step, setting an input-satisfied status bit
ON when the status of the bit addresses matches programmed data. The
group of bit addresses can be selected as either external input addresses
or internal addresses.

The SQO step completion bit is set ON for a single program scan

Examine ON instructions at the bit address go TRUE; Examine OFF
instructions go FALSE.
The SQO step completion bit is discussed further with shift registers, in
Chapter 13.
The SQO cycle completion bit is assigned the sequencer address plus 50.

The SQO cycle completion bit is set ON when the sequencer completes
its final step. Examine ON instructions at the bit address go TRUE;
Examine OFF.instructions go FALSE.
Reset Instruction The reset (RST) instruction is given the same address as the sequencer
instruction:
RAC 0000
When the RST instruction goes TRUE, the SQO cycle completion bit is
reset to OFF, and the sequencer is reset to the step number
corresponding to the RAC value. Outputs for the step are controlled as
programmed.
The RST instruction must go FALSE again before sequencer operation
can resume.
Chapter
Sequencer Data
Monitoring and
Changing Data
Power Down
10-3
In programming the ON/OFF status of bit addresses for sequencer steps,
ls and 0s are used, where 1 = ON and 0 = OFF. To simplify
programming, a 2-digit code is used to represent the status of the bit
addresses for a particular step.
Group numbers define which addresses are involved in the sequencer
data. Masking data (using the 2-digit code) indicates which of these
addresses apply to the sequencer and which do not.
Additional details on sequencer data appear on Page 10-6.
The PR value, AC value, and current step number can be monitored in
the Run and Test modes. The PR value of any step can be changed in the
Run or Test modes. Use the PRT/UNPRT key to protect the PR value
from being changed.
The sequencer status is retentive. When you apply power after a power
down, the current step number, AC value, and the completion bit status
will be the same as before power was removed. The status of the input-
satisfied bit will also be the same, provided the status of the external
inputs remain the same.
The sequencer status is also retained when going from the Run mode to
another mode.
Operation after CPU Faults: Sequencer instructions and associated
10-4
Basic Operation -
Sequencer Output
The SQO instruction can control the ON/OFF status of up to 8 bit
addresses for up to 100 steps. It can be time-driven or event-driven.
With time-driven sequencers, each step functions similar to timer
instructions, involving an AC value and a programmed PR value (dwell
time). In the same way, the event-driven sequencer functions similar to
the counter instruction.
Time-Driven SQO:
Step

(PR Value)
A B C D E
0 OFF OFF OFF OFF OFF 5 seconds
1 OFF ON OFF ON OFF 20 seconds
2 ON ON ON ON OFF 60 seconds
3 ON OFF OFF ON ON 10 seconds
Beginning at step 0: With rung conditions FALSE, the SQO instruction
is waiting on step 0. Bit addresses A thru E are OFF in accordance with
data for step 0. When the SQO instruction goes TRUE, step 0 is
initiated; bit addresses A thru E remain OFF for a dwell time of 5
seconds (assuming SQO remains TRUE). Then step 1 begins; bit
addresses B and D go ON. After 20 seconds, step 2 begins; bit addresses
A and C go ON. After 60 seconds, step 3 begins; bit addresses B and C
go OFF, E goes ON. After 10 seconds, a completion bit is set ON and the
cycle repeats with step 0.

The PR value is set at 1 for each step (the typical case). Beginning with
step 0, bit addresses A thru E are OFF. After a FALSE-TRUE
transition of the SQO instruction occurs, step 1 is in effect; bit addresses
B and D go ON. After a 2nd transition, step 2 is in effect; A and C go
ON. After a 3rd transition, step 3 is in effect; B and C go OFF, E goes
ON. After a 4th transition, a completion bit is set ON and the cycle
repeats with step 0.
Chapter

Basic Operation -

10-5
The SQI instruction differs from the SQO instruction in that it examines
up to 8 bit addresses and sets an input-satisfied status bit ON when the
ON/OFF status of these bit addresses matches the programmed data for
a particular step. The SQI sequencer can be either time-driven or event-
driven.

Operation begins with rung 1 FALSE and the SQO Rung3demonstrates how the cycle completion bit

TRUE. As long as the rung is TRUE, the sequencer advances causing the Examine ON instruction in rung 3 to go TRUE,
from one step to the next each time the PR value of the Th Cycle completion bit remains ON until the sequencer is
current step is reached. At the beginning of each step, bit reset.
addresses 012, Q14, 015, 016, and 017 are set ON or OFF as
indicated by the 1 's and 0's in the data form. (Addresses
011, 013, and 018 are not used.)
Rung 2 demonstrates how the step completion bit
functions. Each time a step is completed, this bit is set to
ON for a single program scan, during which time the
Examine ON instruction in rung 2 will be TRUE. This bit is
used in shift register applications.
Rung 4 conta ins the reset instruction. When this rung goes
TRU E, the sequencer is reset to step 2, corresponding to the
programmed RAC value. Also, i be cycle completion bit is
reset to OFF.
While the RST instruction is TRUE, the sequencer is held on
its RAC step with the corresponding outputs controlled as
programmed. Operation can resume when rung 4 goes
FALSE again.

Sequencer Input (SQI) Figure 10.3 shows a ladder diagram and a completed data form for an
SQI instruction. This 10-step, event-driven sequencer examines 7
external input addresses, 002-008. Bit address 001 is not used.
Operation is explained below the data form.
Figure 10.3
FALSE-TRUE transitions of rung 1 move the sequencer from
one step to the next. In this case, a single FALSE-TRUE
transition advances the sequencer, since all PR values are
set at1. . /
The ON/OFF states of the external inputs determine
whether the input-satisfied status bit will be ON or OFF.
That is, when the ON/OFF states of the external inputs ;
match the data programmed for the current step, the input-
satisfied status bit will be ON; when the external inputs do
not match the data programmed for the current step, the
status bit will be OFF.
Rungs 2 and 3 are output rungs; containing examine
instructions at the input-satisfied status bit address. When
the status bit is ON, rung 2 is TRUE and rung 3 is FALSE;

Chapter Special Sequencer
Instruction Techniques
Cascading SQO SQO instructions can be cascaded in order to control more than 8
Instructions bit addresses. An example is shown in Figure 11.1a. Rung 1 is a
dummy sequencer. Rung 2 resets all sequencer instructions in the
program. It is important that this reset rung follows the dummy
sequencer rung so that the cascaded sequencers are reset properly.
Rungs 3 and 4 are cascaded sequencers controlling 16 bit addresses.
With cascaded SQO instructions, bit addresses controlled by the 2nd,
3rd, and subsequent sequencers are set in the same I/O scan; bit
addresses controlled by the 1st sequencer are set one scan later. This is
the reason weve made the rung 1 sequencer a dummy. It controls no bit
addresses. It serves only to synchronize the setting of bit addresses of the
sequencers in rungs 3 and 4.
Sequencers in rungs 1,3, and 4 have the same address and are operated
by the same rung conditions. They are event-driven (could also be time-
driven), and have the same presets and number of steps. The sequencer
in rung 3 controls Group 0 outputs; the sequencer in rung 4 controls
Group 1 outputs; the sequencer in rung 1 has Mask data of 00, so that it
controls no outputs at all. Data forms are shown in Figure 11.1b on the
next page.
Figure 11.1a
Dummy SQO 901. Controls no
outputs. It serves only to
synchronize subsequent
sequencers.
RSI 901 resets SQO
instructions to step 0.
SQO 901 can be programmed
to control one set of outputs,
Group 0 for example.
SQO 901 can be programmed
again to control another set of
outputs, Group 1 for example.

Reversing Sequencer The reversing sequencer operation allows you to operate a sequencer in
Step Operation a forward or reverse step order. An example is shown in Figure 11.3.
Rung 1 is the forward operating sequencer. Rung 3, having identical
rung conditions, implements reverse operation of the sequencer; note
that this rung is within a ZCL zone.
Operation: When rung 1 is TRUE and rung 2 is FALSE, the sequencer
operates in a forward step order (rung 3 is TRUE, but inoperative).
When rung 2 goes TRUE, rung 3 becomes operative and the sequencer
reverses the step order, beginning with the step in effect at the time.
When rung 2 goes FALSE again, the sequencer operates in a forward
step order again.
The data forms for rungs 1 and 3 are included in the figure. Data for
rung 1 is entered using the program codes listed in Figure 10.1, Page
10-7. Enter rung 3 according to the following special procedure:
1. If you like, you can enter rung 3 by copying rung 1, then modifying
the data. The SQO instruction address is 901, and it is time-driven.
2. Select a special group number from the table below. The number
must correspond to the address number of the sequencer. In this case
number 38 applies.

Program Editing Note: When you program a reversing sequencer you must select a
special group number from the table above. The step data you program is a decimal
notation for the reversing step order, as opposed to the coded step data for a
regular group number. If you edit a sequencer and change a group number from a
special group number to a regular group number or vice versa, you must also edit
the step data. Failure to do this could result in unexpected sequencer operation.

Input Driving a
Sequencer Output
The input-satisfied status bit of an SQI instruction can be used to
advance an SQO step number. Figure 11.4 shows how this is done.
The SQI and SQO instructions are assigned addresses 901 and 902.
Both instructions are event-driven with a preset of 1 for each step. The
input-satisfied status bit of the SQI instruction is used in rung 2 to
advance the SQO step number. The SQO step completion bit is then
used to advance the SQI step number.
In step 0, status bits corresponding to bit addresses Oil thru 018 are
OFF, as specified in the SQO data table. Referring to step 0 of the SQI
data table, note that when bit address 005 is ON and bit addresses 006,
007, and 008 are OFF, the programmed data for step 0 is matched,
causing the input-satisfied status bit to go ON. This advances both the
SQI and SQO instructions to step 1, causing outputs 012 and 014 to go
ON. Operation continues from step to step in this manner.

SLC Personal Computer Software Users: You will be prompted
for "Dec Data. Enter the step number (12 for example).
This completes the SQI instruction entry.
Program Editing Note: When you program a sequencer input instruction to
monitor another sequencer instruction, you must select a special group number
from the table above. The step data you program is the step number you want
to monitor as opposed to the coded step data for a regular group number. If
you edit a sequencer and change a group number from a special group number
to a regular group number or vice versa, you must also edit the step data.
Failure to do this could result in unexpected sequencer operation.

Chaptet Special Sequencer Instruction Techniques
Sequencer Jump
Operation
The jump operation allows you to either execute all steps of a sequencer
instruction or to skip certain steps (jump). The sequencer input
monitoring technique (Page 11-7, example 1) is used in the jump
operation.
In Figure 11.8, SQI902 is monitoring stepS of SQO 901. If instruction
002 (rung 3) is TRUE and SQO 901 is on step 5, SQO 901 will be reset to
step 15 by the RST 901 instruction. In effect, steps 5 thru 14 are
skipped. On the other hand, if instruction 002 is FALSE when step 4 is
completed, SQO 901 will continue with steps 5 thru 20.

Chapter High Speed Input
Programming
An HSI module (right) connected to an SIC 150 processor unit.
(The HSI module is for use with the SLC 150 processor only).
The High Speed
Input (HSI) Module
The High Speed Input module facilitates the counting of rapid pulses
produced by external input devices such as a solid state sensor or an
encoder. Counting is accomplished in your program by a special event-
driven SQO instruction. We will refer to this as an HSI counter
instruction.
Your SLC 150 controller is designed to accommodate up to four HSI
modules. Addresses for the corresponding four HSI counter instructions
are 901, 902, 903, and 904. The figure below indicates how the addresses
must be assigned.
Address Address Address Address
901 902 903 904
The physical location of the HSI module determines what address you
must assign to it. The HSI connected directly to the processor must be
assigned address 901, the HSI connected to the 1st HSI must be assigned
address 902, etc. Unused addresses can be used for standard
timer/counter/sequencer programming.
Chapter

address. Additional examine instructions can be used in the rung to
enable or disable the counting process. This is illustrated below.

V
This pair of adjacent instructions
distinguish the HSI counter. The
SQO is event-driven.
Operation is similar to event-driven sequencers discussed in Chapter 10.
When instruction 001 in Figure 12.2 is TRUE, HSI counter 901 is
enabled. Pulses fed into the HSI 901 module increase the AC value of
SQO 901. When the AC value reaches the programmed PR value, the
HSI counter advances to the next step, setting outputs according to
programmed data.
Maximum Pulse Rate (Frequency) - If the maximum pulse rate is
exceeded, Examine OFF instruction 901 (Figure 12.2) will go FALSE,
disabling the HSI counter. The maximum pulse rate is 5 KHz when you
are using one HSI module. If you use 2, 3, or 4 HSI modules, the
maximum pulse rate is less. This is explained in the table below.

Basic Operation Figure 12.3 shows two HSI counters. Note that each counter is
characterized by an event-driven SQO instruction preceded by an
Examine OFF instruction with the same address.
Cycle Completion Bit (Rung 2): HSI counter 901 includes a cycle
completion bit (901 + 50). Instruction 951 in rung 2 will go TRUE for
one program scan when SQO 901 completes its last step.
Chapter High Speed Input Programming
12-3
Basic Operation Normal Reset (Rung 3): HSI counter 901 is reset normally. When
(continued) instruction 002 goes TRUE, counting is disabled. SQO 901 is reset to
step 0, applying step 0 outputs. SQO 901 remains at step 0 until rung 3
goes FALSE.
Single Shot Reset (Rungs 5 and 6): HSI counter 902 uses a single shot
reset, which resets the counter to a specific step without losing any high
speed input counts. The single shot is initiated by the step completion
bit of an SQO instruction. Thus, when rung 5 goes TRUE, instruction
910 in rung 6 goes TRUE for one program scan. This momentarily sets
rung 6 TRUE, resetting SQO 902 to step 0, where the counter resumes
operation. Any high speed input pulses occurring during reset are
applied to the AC value of step 0.
You must program a 4-digit RAC value for a single shot reset. The first
two digits must be 99; the second two digits specify the step number you
want the counter reset to.
Exceeding the Maximum Pulse Rate: If the maximum pulse rate is
exceeded, Examine OFF instructions 901 and 902 (rungs 1 and 4) will go
FALSE, disabling the counting process. The counters are held in their
last states, with respective outputs applied. Instructions 901 and 902
remain FALSE until the over-speed condition is corrected and the
counters are reset.
Caution: Exceeding the maximum pulse rate will disable the HSI
counter and hold outputs to the last state. Appropriate emergency
stop switches should be used in your application to guard against
unexpected machine operation.
Figure 12.3
Chapter
12 12-4
Special Application Cascading: You cannot cascade sequencers used in HSI counters. Your
Considerations HSI
coun
t
er
is limited to 8 bit addresses, 6 of which can be external
outputs.
External Outputs: To obtain the fastest possible operation of your HSI
counter, use the external outputs located on the processor unit. These
outputs, corresponding to SQO sequencer group numbers 0 and 1, are
updated immediately, ahead of the I/O scan. See Figure 12.4.
You can also use external outputs located on expansion units. These are
updated during the normal I/O scan.
Figure 12.4
HSI counter outputs addressed to
an expansion unit are updated
Scan Time: As the frequency of your HSI counter increases, your scan
time also increases. Programming preset values of lwill further
increase your scan time.
A scan time in excess of 100 milliseconds will be detected by the
processor unit and cause system shutdown (error code 9). You should
verify your scan time at the maximum HSI input rate for your
application, to assure proper operation of your system. Refer to Page 8-4
for instructions on measuring scan time.
C 12-5
Special Application
Considerations
(continued)
Test Single Scan Mode: When the SLC 150 processor unit is placed in
the Test-Single Scan mode and the HSI counter start rung is TRUE, the
HSI will count in real time and the accumulator will increment as it
would in the Run mode.
Disconnecting the HSI Module: The HSI module should not be
connected or disconnected when power is applied to the SLC 150
processor unit.
WARNING: Improper operation and damage to equipment or
personnel could occur if the HSI module is connected or
disconnected when power is applied to the SLC 150 processor unit.
Expansion Socket End Plug: The HSI module has an expansion
socket for the purpose of adding another HSI module or expansion unit
to your system. The HSI module is shipped with an end plug inserted in
this expansion socket. Do not remove this plug unless you are adding
another HSI module or an expansion unit to your system. Removing the
plug will cause a CPU fault, shutting down the processor in the Run
mode.

Application Example -
Two Step
Cut Off Operation
A high speed cut-off operation measures metal strips by counting pre
formed bumps as the metal strip is fed into the cut-off area. The bumps
pass a solid state sensor at the rate of 1000 bumps per second. Every
2000 bumps, the strip is cut. The counting process then resumes.
In the program below, an HSI counter is used to perform the counting
and cut-off operation. SQO 901 outputs at addresses Oil and 012 control
the feed motor and the cut-off saw motor. The counter is enabled only
when the cut-off saw is in the home position.
In step 0, the feed motor is energized, which feeds the metal strip. As the
strip is fed, the bumps are counted by the HSI counter. When 2000
counts are reached, SQO 901 advances to step 1. This lowers the cut-off
saw which cuts the strip and returns to the home position.
When the cut-off saw returns to its home position a limit switch at
address 001 is closed, initiating a single shot reset that resets the
process back to step 0. This single shot reset allows the feeding process
to resume and high speed input signals to be counted immediately. The
preset of 9999 for step 1 has been arbitrarily chosen and allows for over
feeding of the metal strip. The preset for step 1 could be set to any four
digit number except zero since the process is reset when the saw returns
home.

Application Example -
Multiple Step
Position Control
Drill position and hole depth are controlled by counting high speed input
pulses from an encoder mounted on a feed motor. The feed motor turns a
lead screw which moves the drill forward and backward. As the feed
motor rotates, encoder pulses are fed into the HSI module at a rate of
5000 pulses per second.
Step 0 is the home position, with all outputs off. The preset of 9999 for
step 0 is arbitrarily chosen and allows for encoder movement without
advancing the sequencer step number. A push button at address 001
initiates the process by performing a single shot reset which moves the
process to step 1 where the feed motor is energized. Encoder pulses are
then counted by the HSI counter. After 9000 counts, the drill motor is
turned on. After another 2000 pulses, the drill bit reaches its proper
depth and the sequencer advances to step 3. Step 3 reverses the feed
motor, retracting the drill. After 2000 pulses the drill motor is turned
off. The drill continues to retract to its original position.
When the cycle is complete, the process returns to step 0 which is the
home position with all outputs off.

Chapter Shift Register
Instruction
General With the shift register instruction, status data enters an 8-bit register
and is automatically shifted thru the register from one bit address to the
next on a time- or event-driven basis. A typical application is with
conveyors, to monitor and control the flow of the individual parts. In
general, it can be used in the control of machines or processes where
parts are continually shifted from one position to the next.
You can program a shift register to shift status data either right or left.
In operation, the shift register instruction is executed each program
scan, and uses a ZCL zone to control the shifting process. A sequencer
instruction is used to control the shift rate. The unlatch instruction can
be used to set status bits from ON to OFF.
The shift register instruction is retentive. The ON/OFF status and the
position of data is retained if power to the processor unit is removed or if
the processor unit is switched from the Run mode to another mode.
Programming the Shift
Register Instruction
Acceptable addresses for shift registers are shown below. A shift right
register is assigned the address of its most significant bit. A shift left
register is assigned the address of its least significant bit.
Valid addresses include external output addresses and internal
addresses. Internal addresses can be used within your program or used
to obtain outputs, as required.

Chapter Shift Register Instruction
Event-Driven Shift Figure 13,2 is a ladder diagram of an event-driven shift right register.
Registers indicated in the figure. Rungs 2-3-4 consist of a shift right register
within a ZCL zone.
Each time instruction 001 in rung 1 goes from FALSE to TRUE, step 0 of
the sequencer is completed (AC PR) and the ZCL zone is TRUE for one
program scan. If instruction 002 is TRUE during this scan, rung 3 is
TRUE, and a 1 is shifted into the most significant bit address (18) of the
register; if instruction 002 is FALSE, a 0 is shifted into the register.
Simultaneously, all other status data in the register is shifted right to
the next address, with status data of bit 11 being shifted out of the
register:

Figure 13.3 is a ladder diagram of a time-driven shift right register.
Note the similarity to the event-driven shift register of Figure 13.2.
Rung 1 is a 1-step, time-driven sequencer. Programmed data is
indicated in the figure; set the PR value to the desired shift rate. Rungs
2-3-4 consist of a shift right register within a ZCL zone.
Step 0 of the sequencer is completed each time the AC value reaches the
PR value. The ZCL zone is then TRUE for one program scan. If
instruction 001 is TRUE during this scan, rung 3 is TRUE, and a 1 is
shifted into the most significant bit address (18) of the register; if
instruction 001 is FALSE, a 0 is shifted into the register.

Chapter Shift Register instruction
Cascading You can cascade shift register instructions in order to shift more than 8
Shift Registers bits of data. In the 16-bit shift left register of Figure 13.4, status data is
entered into shift register 701. Bit 708 of this register shifts data into
register 709:
716 715 714 713 712 711 710 709 708 707 706 705 704 703 702 701
Status data shifts on each FALSE to TRU E transition of SQO
Important: The rung containing the shift register into which data is
entered must follow the rung containing the second shift register. Thus,
shift register 701 (rung 4) follows shift register 709 (rung 3).

Program Initialization This is an internal examine instruction you can use to initialize your
- Address 868 program to a known state on power-up. It can be used to initialize
timers, counters, sequencers, and latch instructions.
The bit address of the instruction is 868. This bit is set ON for the first
and only the first program scan under either of the following conditions:
1. Power is switched on to the processor unit in the Run or Test modes.
2. The programmer is used to place the processor unit in the Run or Test
modes.
The following examples show you how to use the program initialization
instruction to program non-retentive timers and a non-retentive latch.
You will also be shown how to initialize an up-down counter and a latch
instruction. Always use instruction 868 in the first rung of your
program so that program initialization will occur properly.
Non-Retentive Latch A ladder diagram for a non-retentive latch instruction is shown in
Figure 14.1. On power-up, instruction 868 in rung 1 will go TRUE for
the first scan, so that instruction 701 will be unlatched initially.
Examine ON instruction 001 in rung 1 is used to unlatch instruction 701
during program execution.

instruction having the same address (001) as the Examine ON
instruction in rung 2. This Examine OFF instruction resets the timer
when rung 2 goes FALSE.
The figure also illustrates a non-retentive RTF timer. In this case, an
Examine ON instruction (001) is used in the reset rung (1). Rung order
is important with the non-retentive RTF timer. The RST rung must

Spedai internal Instructions
14-5
If you are using a TCAT (Timer Counter Access Terminal), you can use
this Examine OFF instruction to automatically display any
timer/counter/sequencer address you choose on power-up (instead of
scanning the timer/counter/sequencer addresses). An example is shown
below.
Figure 14.5
On power-up, TCAT goes directly
to rung containing instruction 867
PROGRAMMING NOTE - Instruction 867 should be an Examine OFF,
programmed in series with the rung containing the instruction you want
displayed on power-up. (You can program instruction 867 anywhere in the
rung, to the left of the timer/counter/sequencer instruction.)
This is an output instruction at address 100. You can use it to pin-point
suspected problem areas in your program during debugging and
troubleshooting procedures.
When the rung containing the breakpoint output instruction is TRUE,
the processor will halt the program scan, automatically switch from the
Run mode to the Test-Single Scan mode, and turn all outputs OFF.
Use the breakpoint instruction as follows:
1. Decide on what point in your program you should insert the
breakpoint instruction. This should be directly after the part of your
ladder program that you suspect is not operating correctly.
2. Program the breakpoint rung. The conditions that make the
breakpoint output instruction TRUE should be the conditions that
you suspect would cause your program to malfunction. An example is
shown on Page 14-6.
3. Place the processor in the Run mode and test your program. If the
processor halts and outputs are disabled, the breakpoint output rung
is TRUE.
4. Connect the pocket programmer. It will automatically identify the
breakpoint rung number. (If you are using the SLC Personal
Computer Software, it will display a message telling you that a
breakpoint -(BPT)- has occurred at a specific rung number.)
5. Correct the program malfunction and delete the breakpoint rung.
A breakpoint output rung can be programmed as many times as you
need it in your program.
Important: Do not use the breakpoint output instruction for emergency
stop situations. We strongly recommend that you use a hard-wired
master control relay to provide emergency I/O power shutdown.
14-6
Chapter Special Internal Instructions
Breakpoint Instruction An example of how you might use the breakpoint instruction:
-Address 100
(continued) Operation B: Refer to the program below. When a series of five
external inputs (represented in the program by instructions 001 thru
005) are closed, output instruction Oil is energized, causing assembly
operation B to be performed. When assembly B is completed, instruction
006 goes FALSE, de-energizing output Oil. The external inputs are
then opened and the next operation in the assembly process is initiated.
Operation
Enable Conditions Complete Operation B
The Problem: Occasionally, operation B is not performed because one
of the external inputs does not remain closed for the duration of the
assembly process. Determining which of the five external inputs is at
fault is a difficult and time-consuming troubleshooting procedure.
The Solution: Breakpoint rungs 2 thru 6 are inserted into the user
program:
Rung
Rung
Rung
Rung
Rung
Rung
During operation B, rung 1 will be TRUE and the breakpoint rungs will
be FALSE. If an external input opens before assembly operation B is
completed, one of the breakpoint rungs will go TRUE. This will cause
the processor to switch from the Run mode to the Test Single Scan mode,
disabling all outputs. The pocket programmer will identify the
breakpoint rung number, revealing which external input is causing the
problem.
If operation B is completed without a problem, program execution
continues as normal.

EEPROM Auto-Load

Battery Status
-SLC150 Only
14-7
With the SLC 150 processor unit, you can use address 864 in your
program to automatically load the EEPROM program in the processor
RAM when the processor detects a memory checksum error. Such errors
are detected if memory data is altered or lost due to capacitor back-up
drain, battery back-up drain, or processor malfunction. It works like
this:
1. Enter the following unconditional rung as Rung 1 of your program:
Rung 1
2. Store the program in the EEPROM. This is your "back-up program.
3. If a memory problem occurs and the processor unit detects a memory
error (codes 5 thru 8), recycle power. The EEPROM program will be
automatically loaded in the processor RAM, clearing the error.
Refer to Chapter 17 for further information on the Auto-Load Procedure.
Important: Keep in mind that when the auto-load occurs, the I/O table
data is cleared. All retentive instructions (latches, timers, counters,
sequencers) will be reset to their initial states.
If you are using the battery back-up option with the SLC 150, you can
use the status bit at address 865 to energize a "Battery Low indicator
when the battery voltage falls below a certain threshold. This threshold
voltage level will support the processor memory for approximately 2
weeks.
The figure below indicates how you might use this battery status
instruction. Battery low indication is provided only when power is
applied to the processor unit.

Chapter Special internal instructions
TriacZero-Cross Turn-On This is an output energize instruction at address 866. It is used to
-SLC150 Only synchronize triac outputs with the AC line to help minimize noise
generated when switching loads. To achieve zero-cross turn-on, you
must use a common power source for the processor unit power supply
and the output circuits.
The figure below indicates how to use the triac zero-cross turn-on
instruction. NOTE: When this instruction is in effect, your program
scan will be synchronized with the AC line zero-cross. This means that
your scan time will be 8.3 msec (or some multiple of 8.3 msec) at 60 Hz,
and 10 msec (or some multiple of 10 msec) at 50 Hz.
Caution: Make certain that the scan time resulting from using the
zero-cross turn-on instruction will not adversely affect your program
execution. This is especially important if you are using any of the
fine time base instructions discussed in Chapter 8.

Chapter Program Editing
Cursor Control The programmer indicates the cursor location by the particular instruc
tion LED lit, the address number, and the rung number. The cursor
location is moved by pressing the NEXT key or the LAST key.
Each time you press the NEXT key, the cursor moves to the following
instruction, that is, one instruction to the right. Each time you press the
LAST key, the cursor moves to the preceding instruction, one
instruction to the left. You can use this method to move from instruction
to instruction thru the rungs of your program.
When the cursor is positioned on a timer, counter or sequencer
instruction, pressing the NEXT key displays the data associated with
that instruction (PR value, AC value, and other data), in the order in
which it was entered.
You can move the cursor to the start of the next rung by pressing RUNG,
NEXT, or to the start of the preceding rung by pressing RUNG, LAST.
The keystroke example of Figure 15.1 (following page) illustrates use of
the NEXT and LAST keys.

Changing Instructions
in the Program Mode
With the CANCEL CMD key, you can easily change an instruction,
address, or data while the cursor is still located on the instruction.
You can also change an instruction, address, or data after a rung or
program is completed. Just locate the cursor on the instruction to be
changed, then enter a new instruction, address, and data. Refer to the
program editing summary on Pages 15-11 and 15-12.
Protecting the PR Value
of Timers, Counters,
and Sequencers
The PRT key allows you to protect the PR value. This prevents anyone
from changing the PR value while the processor is in the Run or Test
modes. In the case of timers and counters, neither the PR value nor the
AC value can be changed while the processor is in the Run or Test
modes.
You can change a PR value in the Program mode even if it is protected.
But if you change a protected PR value, you must protect it again after
changing it. Refer to the program editing techniques on Page 15-12.
Deleting an Entire Selecting mode 1, Clear Memory, allows you to delete your entire

Force Function
On-Line
Data Control
With the controller in the Run or Test mode, you can monitor, control,
and change your program. This is referred to as On-Line Data Control.
It includes:
Forcing external I/O addresses.
Monitoring timer, counter, and sequencer data.
Changing PR, AC, and RAC values.
WARNING: Before you force external I/O or change data,
investigate the effects on machine operation to avoid possible
personal injury and equipment damage.
On-Line Data Control with the TCAT and PC Software: On-line
data control techniques possible with the TCAT (Timer Counter Access
Terminal) and the SLC Personal Computer Software are described in
the respective Users Manuals, Publications 1745-850 and 1745-825.
This function (FRC ON and FRC OFF keys) can be used in the Run and
Test modes to force an external I/O address to an ON or OFF state
regardless of its actual status. This function is very helpful in start-up
and troubleshooting procedures.
Forcing an input address: When you force an input address, you are
forcing the status bit of the instruction at the I/O address to an ON or
OFF state. The program scan records this, and the program is executed
with this forced status regardless of the actual ON/OFF status of the
input device. This is illustrated in Figure 16.1.

Chapter On-Line Data Control
Force Function Forcing an output address: In this case, we are forcing only the
(continued) output terminal to an ON or OFF state. The status bit of the output
instruction at the address is not affected. Refer to Figure 16.2.
A forced I/O address will be retained in memory when any of the
following occurs: 1) A power outage; 2) The mode is changed from Run;
3) The pocket programmer is disconnected. A forced I/O address will not
be retained if you enter the Program mode and make a change, or if a
processor fault is detected.
Figure 16.3 on the following page shows the keystrokes used for forcing
I/O addresses.
Forcing sequencer I /O bit addresses: These programmed I/O
addresses cannot be accessed in the user program, but they can be forced
ON or OFF.
Example: To force sequencer output bit address 016 ON, press INSERT,
-( )-, 1, 6, ENTER, SHIFT, FRC ON. To remove the force, press
REMOVE, -( )-, 1, 6, SHIFT, FRC ON, ENTER. To remove all forces in
the program, press REMOVE, ENTER.

TRUE-FALSE With the controller in the Run or Test mode, you can monitor the
Status Indicator TRUE/FALSE status of an instruction. The ON LED of the programmer
is lit when the cursored instruction is TRUE, and not lit when the
instruction is FALSE. Remember that when you force an output
address, only the output terminal is forced; the output instruction is not
affected, and therefore the ON LED remains off.
Figure 16.3 indicates how the ON LED functions.

Keystroke Example - Forcing instruction addresses. Program the ladder
diagram at the right. Read the following information before going thru
the keystroke example. Note that the ON LED and the force function are
effective in the Run and Test modes only.
ON LED: Indicates whether the cursored instruction ts TRUE or FALSE. The
LED is lit when the instruction is TRUE and not lit when it is FALSE. The LED
is not lit when an output terminal is forced.
FORCE LED: This LED is continuously lit whenever one or more instructions
in the program are forced ON or OFF.
FORCE ON function key: Pressing this key will force the status bit address
of the cursored instruction to the ON state (except for output addresses). If
the status bit was already ON, it will be held ON until the force is removed.
FORCE OFF function key: Pressing this key will force the status bit address
of the cursored instruction to the OFF state. If the status bit was already
OFF, it will be held OFF until the force is removed.

Chapter Using the EEPROM
Memory Module
SLC ISO processor unit
The EEPROM The EEPROM is a non-volatile memory in convenient modular form, for
Memory Module use with SLC lOO and SLC 150 Programmable Controllers.
A Series B module or a Series A module having a 28-pin chip must be
used with the SLC 150 processor unit. The majority of Series A modules
sold in the past meet the 28-pin chip requirement.
EEPROM Program Since EEPROM modules can be inserted in any SLC 100 or SLC 150
Identification processor unit, it is important that you identify each EEPROM with the
particular program it contains and the controller or controllers it is to be
used with.
Caution: Interchanging programs between controllers could cause
improper operation and equipment damage. You must be especially
cautious when interchanging programs between SLC 150 and SLC 100
controllers, because of differences associated with certain internal
addresses and other variations.

Write-on area.
Memory module socket.
SLC 150 processor unit. EEPROM
socket cover on SLC 100 processor
unit is similarly located.
Caution:. Always turn off power to the processor before you
insert or remove the EEPROM. This guards against possible
damage to the EEPROM and also avoids undesired CPU faults.
INSTALLATION PROCEDURE:
1. Turn off power to the processor unit.
2. To insert the memory module, remove the cover from the front of the
processor unit. Save the cover for use later.
3. Align the memory module socket with the receptacle inside the
processor unit. Push carefully to seat the module.
4. Restore power to the processor.
Storing and Loading The following paragraphs explain how to use the pocket programmer to
Procedures store a processor RAM program in the EEPROM and to load an
EEPROM program in the processor RAM. ff you are using the personal
computer software, refer to the SLC Personal Computer Software Users
Manual (Pub. 1745-825) for further information on these procedures.
Chapter
Storing a Program in the
Memory Module
Loading the EEPROM into
the Processor RAM
Using the EEPROM Memory Module
17-3
The following steps show you how to use the pocket programmer to store
(save) the contents of the processor RAM in the EEPROM memory
module. If you are using an access code, it will be stored in the
EEPROM. Well assume that the memory module is not plugged in.
1. Connect the programmer. Press MODE, 6, ENTER. Display will
show SurE ?
Note: You could press ENTER a second time, altho it isnt necessary.
Error code E51 will appear; you can ignore the error code and perform
step 2.
2. Disconnect power from the processor. Insert the memory module.
Restore power.
3. Press ENTER, ENTER. After a brief time, the display will
momentarily show donE. Any program previously stored in the
memory module will be erased.
4. You can now disconnect power and remove the memory module
(replace cover), or you can leave the module in place. The processor
operates from the RAM only.
Caution: It is important to enter mode 6 before installing the
memory module. Reason: If the processor were in the Run mode
when you disconnect power, insert the memory module, and restore
power (step 2), your program could be automatically erased and
replaced with the contents of the memory module. Refer to auto
load procedure on the following page.
The following steps show you how to use the pocket programmer to load
(read) the contents of the EEPROM memory module into the processor
RAM. If you know that the processor is in the Run mode, you may be
able to use the auto-load procedure described on the following page. If
the processor is in some other mode, follow these steps:
1. Disconnect power from the processor. Insert the memory module.
Restore power.
2. Connect the programmer. Press MODE, 7, ENTER, ENTER. (If an
access code is stored in the EEPROM, you will be requested to enter
the code after you press ENTER the second time.)
3. Duplication of the EEPROM contents in the RAM occurs almost
instantaneously. The previous program in the RAM is automatically
erased.
4. You can now disconnect power and remove the memory module
(replace cover), or you can leave the module in place. The processor
operates from the RAM only.
17-4
Auto-Load Procedure If you are using an SLC 100 processor unit: The auto-load procedure
will load the contents of an EEPROM into the processor RAM without
the use of the programmer. The only exception: If the EEPROM has an
access code, you must use the programmer. (It doesnt matter whether
the processor has the same code as the EEPROM, a different code, or no
code.)
Follow these steps:
1. The processor must be in the Run mode initially.
2. If the processor is energized, disconnect power. Insert the EEPROM.
Caution: To avoid automatically entering the Run mode when you
restore power, set the Auto/Man switch to Man at this time.
3. Restore power. The EEPROM contents is automatically duplicated in
the RAM. The previous program in the RAM is automatically erased.
4. When you are prepared to enter the Run mode, set the Auto/Man
switch to Auto.
If you are using an SLC 150 processor unit: In this case, you can
enter an access code in the processor RAM to protect the stored program
against unauthorized EEPROM loading. The table below indicates the
conditions under which the auto-load procedure will and will not
function. If the auto-load is functional, follow steps 1 - 4 in the
paragraph above.

code does not match code in

No. You must use

Programmable
Auto-Load-SLC 150
Processor Unit
With the SLC 150 processor unit, you can use address 864 in your
program to automatically load the EEPROM program in the processor
RAM when the processor detects a memory checksum error. Such errors
are detected if memory data is altered or lost due to capacitor back-up
drain, battery back-up drain, or processor malfunction. It works like
this:
1. Enter the following unconditional rung as Rung 1 of your program:
864 I
< H
Rung 1
17-5
Programmable
Autoload -SLC 150
Processor Unit
(continued)
2. Enter the rest of your program and store the program in the
EEPROM. This is your "back-up program.
3. If a memory problem occurs and the processor unit detects a
memory error (codes 5 thru 8), recycle power. The EEPROM program
will be automatically loaded in the processor RAM, clearing the error.
An error 6 message will be displayed by your pocket programmer or
computer following an auto-load error. This error message can be
cleared by using the Cancel key on the pocket programmer or re
entering the Run/Mon/Test mode via SLC personal computer
software.
Important: Keep in mind that when the auto-load occurs, the I/O table
data is cleared. All retentive instructions (latches, timers, counters,
sequencers) will be reset to their initial states.
Editing EEPROM
Programs
You cannot edit the EEPROM program directly. You must first load the
program into the processor RAM, if it is not already in the RAM. You
then edit the RAM program and store the edited program in the
EEPROM.
For example, suppose an EEPROM is installed, and its contents are
loaded in the RAM. You can change the program in the EEPROM as
follows:
1. The RAM program is a duplicate of the EEPROM program; edit the
RAM program.
2. Press MODE, 6, ENTER, ENTER.
3. The edited program is now in the EEPROM (and in the RAM).
Changes not Saved Error code E52 tells you that the processor RAM program does not
if) EEPROM match the EEPROM program. If an EEPROM is installed in the
(Error Code E52) processor unit,this error will appear after you edit your program and
attempt to enter the Run or Test modes. This reminds you that you
should load the edited program in the EEPROM before going into the
Run mode.
Error code E52 can be overridden by pressing ENTER again. Note:
Error code E52 is not displayed when on-line data changes are made to
the processor RAM.

AutOBaud The SLC 150 processor unit automatically adjusts its communication
Recognition - SLC150 baud rate to allow communication with external devices such as
computers and modems. Acceptable baud rates are 300,1200,2400,
9600 and 19,200.
This auto-baud feature is effective in any mode except the Run mode. If
the SLC 150 is in the Run mode and you want to communicate at a
different baud rate, remove power from the processor unit or enter any
other operating mode. Then connect the external device you want to
communicate with. If you remove power from the processor unit in the
Run mode, the Auto/Man switch must be set to the Man position in order
for the baud rate to be adjusted on power-up. Once power is applied, you
can return the switch to the Auto position.

Recommendations
To help you install the controller as safely and securely as possible, we
have set up a few specific recommendations and guidelines for you to
follow. They are the result of product testing and Alien-Brad leys
extensive experience with solid state industrial controls.
For general installation guidelines, also refer to article 70E of the
National Fire Protection Association (NFPA). Article 70E describes
electrical safety requirements for employee workplaces.
Figure 19.1 shows some of the components that make up a typical
installation.

and airborne contaminants.
2. Disconnect, to remove power from the system.
3. Fused isolation transformer or a constant voltage transformer, as
your application dictates.
4. Master control rlay/emergency stop circuit.
5. Terminal blocks or wiring ducts.
6. Suppression devices for limiting EMI generation.
The enclosure protects the equipment from atmospheric contamination.
Standards established by the National Electrical Manufacturers
Association (NEMA) define enclosure types, based on the degree of
protection an enclosure will provide. Select a NEMA rated enclosure
that is suitable for your application and environment.
The enclosure must be equipped with a disconnect device.
Chapter
19 19-2
System Layout Recommendations
Component Spacing The figure below shows acceptable layouts. Follow the recommended
minimum spacing to allow for convection cooling within the enclosure.
Cooling air in the enclosure must be kept within a range of 0 to 60C.
Note that SLC 100 and SLC 150 expansion units can be interconnected
with either an SLC 100 or an SLC 150 processor unit. High speed input
modules can be used with the SLC 150 processor unit only.
Figure 19.2
Chapter System Layout Recommendations
19-3
Excessive Heat For most applications, normal convection cooling will keep the
controller components within the specified operating range. Proper
spacing of components within the enclosure is usually sufficient for heat
dissipation.
Additional cooling provisions might be necessary when high ambient
temperatures are encountered.
In some applications, a substantial amount of heat is produced by other
equipment inside or outside the enclosure. In this case, blower fans may
be placed inside the enclosure to assist in air circulation and to reduce
"hot spots near the controller. Do not bring in unfiltered outside air. It
may introduce harmful contaminants or dirt that could cause improper
operation or damage to components. In extreme cases, air conditioning
may be required to protect against heat build-up within the enclosure.
Wiring Layout Careful wire routing within the enclosure helps to cut down electrical
noise between I/O lines. Follow these rules for routing your wires:
1. Route incoming power to the processor and expansion units by a
separate path from wiring to I/O devices. Do not run signal wiring
and power wiring in the same conduit! Where paths must cross, their
intersection should be perpendicular.
2. If wiring ducts are used, allow at least 2 inches between I/O wiring
ducts and the processor or expansion unit. If terminal strips are used
for I/O wiring, allow at least 2 inches between the terminal strips and
the processor or expansion unit.
3. Segregate I/O wiring by signal type. Bundle wiring with similar
electrical characteristics together.
Wiring with different signal characteristics should be routed into the
enclosure by separate paths whenever possible.
Grounding In solid state control systems, grounding helps limit the effects of noise
due to electromagnetic induction (EMI). The grounding path for the
controller and its enclosure is provided by the equipment grounding
conductor.
WARNING: The SLC controller, other control devices, and the
enclosure must be properly grounded. All applicable codes and
ordinances must be observed when wiring the controller system.
Ground connections should run from the CHASSIS GND terminal on
each processor and expansion unit to the ground bus. Ground wires can
be daisy-chained between units to minimize the number of ground wire
connections. Exact connections will differ between applications. An
authoritative source on grounding requirements for most installations is
the National Electrical Code.
Chapter
19 19-4
Grounding
(continued)
Master Control Relay
In addition to the grounding required for the controller and its
enclosure, you must also provide proper grounding for all controlled
devices in your application. Care must be taken to provide each device
with an acceptable grounding path.
A hard-wired master control relay (supplied by you) provides a
convenient means for emergency controller shutdown. Since the master
control relay allows the placement of several Emergency Stop switches
in different locations, its installation is important from a safety
standpoint. Overtravel limit switches or mushroom-head push buttons
are wired in series so that when any of them opens, the master control
relay is de-energized. This will remove power from the machine. Never
alter these circuits to defeat their function, since serious injury or
machine damage could result.
If you are using a DC power supply, interrupt the DC side rather than
the AC side to avoid the additional delay of power supply turn-on and
turn-off. As shown in Figure 19.3 on the following page, the DC power
supply should receive its power directly from the fused secondary of the
transformer. Power to the DC input and output circuits must be
connected through a set of master control relay contacts.
The main power disconnect switch should be located where operators
and maintenance personnel have quick and easy access to it. If a
disconnect switch is to be mounted inside the controller enclosure, the
switch operating handle should be on the outside of the enclosure, so
that power can be disconnected without opening the enclosure.
Wiring the master control relay into a grounded system is shown in
Figure 19.3. Whenever any of the Emergency Stop switches are opened,
power to input and output devices is removed.
When the master control relay is used to remove power from the
external I/O circuits, power continues to be provided to the controllers
power supply so that diagnostic indicators on the processor can still be
observed.
NOTE - The master control relay is not a substitute for a disconnect to
the controller. It is intended for any situation where the operator must
quickly de-energize I/O devices only. When inspecting or installing
terminal connections, replacing output fuses, or working on equipment
within the enclosure, the disconnect must be used to shut off power to
the rest of the system.
19-5
Master Control Relay The master control relay must not be controlled by the SLC controller.
(continued) The operator must be provided with the additional safety of a direct
connection between an emergency stop switch and the master control
relay.
WARNING: Do not program Emergency Stop switches in the
controller program. Any Emergency Stop switch should turn off all
machine power by turning off the master control relay.
Observe all applicable local codes concerning the placement and
labeling of Emergency Stop switches.

Refer to Chapter 20 for details on line wiring connections and I/O wiring connections to SLC components.
Chapter
19-6
Common Power Source
Isolation Transformer
We strongly recommend that the processor unit and all expansion units
interconnected with it have the same power source as the input and
output devices. This inhibits electrical interference.
The processor unit power supply monitors the incoming voltage. When
it detects low line voltage, the monitor signals the processor to stop
receiving input data. At the same time, the controller will turn all
outputs OFF and the CPU FAULT LED will be lit.
In addition to monitoring incoming voltage at its power terminals, the
processor unit detects the absence of power to any expansion unit it is
interconnected with. If power to an expansion unit is lost (or not yet
applied), the CPU fault LED will be lit and all controller outputs will be
turned off.
This fault detection makes it necessary that you apply power to the
expansion units before you apply power to the processor unit, to avoid an
unwanted CPU fault. Of course, applying power in sequence is
unnecessary if the processor and expansion units have a common power
source.
You may want to use an isolation transformer in the AC line to the
controller. See Figure 19.3 (Page 19-5). This type of transformer
provides isolation from your power distribution system and is often used
as a "step down transformer to reduce line voltage. Any transformer
used with the controller must have a sufficient power rating for its load.
This power rating is generally expressed in volt-amperes (VA).
To supply the worst-case power to the controller power supply, an
isolation transformer should have a rating of approximately 3 times the
maximum power requirement of the processor and expansion units.
This allows ample power to be delivered to the power supply throughout
the AC cycle. This also allows sufficient power for most types of input
devices connected to the controller. If output devices are connected
through the transformer as in Figure 19.3, their maximum VA
requirements must be added to determine correct transformer size.
Chapter
Special Considerations
Excessive Line Voltage
Variations
Excessive Noise
19-7
The recommendations given previously will provide favorable operating
conditions for most controller installations. Your application may
involve one or more of the following adverse conditions. Additional
measures can he taken to minimize the effect of these conditions.
The best solution to excessive line voltage variation is to correct any
feeder problems in your distribution system. Where this does not solve
the line variation problem, or in certain critical applications, a constant
voltage transformer can be used. If a constant voltage transformer is
required, it must be connected to the controller power supply and all
input devices connected to the SLC controller. Output devices should be
connected on the same power line, but their connection along the power
line is normally made before the constant voltage transformer. A
constant voltage transformer must have a sufficient power rating for its
load.
When the SLC controller is operating in a "noise-polluted industrial
environment, special consideration should be given to possible electrical
interference.
The effect of electrical interference is reduced by the following:
SLC controller design features.
Proper mounting of controller within an enclosure.
Proper equipment grounding.
Proper routing of wiring.
NOTE - To increase the operating noise margin, we recommend that
you provide suppression for noise generating devices.
19-8
Excessive Noise Potential noise generators include inductive loads, such as relays,
(continued) solenoids, and motor starters when operated by "hard contacts like
push buttons or selector switches. Suppression may be necessary when
such loads are connected as output devices or when connected to the
same supply line that powers the controller. Figure 19.4 lists Allen-
Bradley load devices and recommended suppressors. Figure 19.5 shows
how suppressors are used.
If an SLC 150 triac output (1745-LP151, -LP152, -E151, -E152) is
connected with a hard contact to control an inductive load, we
recommend that you use varistors to suppress noise. Do not use
suppressors having RC networks, since damage to triacs could occur.
Allen-Bradley AC surge suppressors which are not recommended for use
with triacs include Catalog Nos. 599-K04, 599-KA04,199-FSMA1, 199-
FSMA2,1401-N10, and 700-N24.
Applications such as high frequency welding equipment and large AC
motors generate excessively high levels of noise pollution. In these
applications, all possible sources of noise should be suppressed. Best
results are achieved when the noise suppressing networks are connected
as closely as possible to the noise generating device.

Output Contact Protection Inductive output devices such as motor starters and solenoids may
require the use of some type of surge suppression to protect the
controller output contacts. Examples are shown in Figure 19.6.
These surge suppression circuits are connected directly across the
output device. The effect is to reduce arcing of the output contacts
(arcing can be caused by the high transient voltage which occurs when
switching off an inductive device). Suitable surge suppression methods
for inductive AC output devices include a varistor, an RC network, and
an Allen-Bradley surge suppressor (see Figure 19.4). These components
must be appropriately rated to suppress the switching transient
characteristic of the particular inductive device.
For inductive DC output devices, a diode is suitable. A 1N4004 diode is
acceptable for most applications. A surge suppressor can also be used, as
indicated in Figure 19.4.
We recommend that you locate the suppression device as close as
possible to the output device.

150 Processor and recommendations. If you are using a high speed input module with the
Expansion Units processor unit, allow panel space to the right of the processor unit. Refer
to Page 19-2 for layout recommendations.
IMPORTANT: SLC 150 processor and expansion units utilize the
mounting back panel as a heat sink for dissipating excess heat during
operation. It is important that you mount the unit on a smooth metal
back panel to provide good thermal conductivity. Back panel
temperature specification: 60C maximum. :
Mounting on a sub panel - In high ambient temperatures (60C),
sub panels not exposed to air outside the enclosure could heat up
beyond 6CPC. In these situations, the sub panel temperature can be
reduced by removing other heat generating equipment from the :
enclosure or by providing fans or air conditioning for cooling.

and Incoming Power
Use acceptable wire gauge: The I/O wiring terminals are designed
to accept up to two #14 AWG stranded wires.
Label wires: All wiring to I/O devices, power sources, and ground
should be appropriately labeled. Tape, shrink-tubing, or other
dependable means can be used for labeling purposes. In addition to
labeling, insulation color may be used to identify wiring based on
signal characteristics. For example, DC I/O wiring may be blue; AC
I/O wiring may be red.
Bundle wires: Wiring for each I/O device should be bundled
together. If you use ducts, allow at least 2 inches between wiring
bundles and ducts so there is sufficient room to wire the devices.
Power and ground wires, of appropriate gauge, may be used as
jumpers from one I/O terminal to the next, if the I/O terminals are the
same voltage.
Identify terminals: Terminal coverplates have a write-on area for
each terminal. Use this area to identify your I/O devices.
CAUTION: Calculate the maximum possible current in each
power and common wire. Observe all local electrical codes
dictating the maximum current allowable for each wire size.
Current above the maximum ratings may cause wiring to
overheat which may damage equipment.
Before you install and wire the I/O devices, disconnect power from the
controller and any other source to the I/O devices. Remove the
protective terminal coverplates.
Line Wiring Connections Make line connections to the processor and expansion units as follows:
-SLC100
processor unit power supply. Do not jumper 115VAC NEUT and
230VAC NEUT together. Do not jumper unused 115VAC NEUT

SLC 100 input circuitry is current sinking. Circuitry includes optical
isolation and surge suppression to guard against damage by
transients from user input devices.
A direct interface to solid state sensing devices and SLC 100 controller
output circuits is possible because of the 2 mA OFF state leakage
current specification, indicated below. Note that the 2 mA value applies
only to inputs 1 and 2 in some units. You can achieve a 2 mA current
value for inputs 3 thru 10 by adding a resistor, as indicated.

Output Wiring
Connections
-SLC100
Wiring connections for output devices are shown below. Note that the
diagram shows the internally-connected output contacts and parallel RC
networks. The RC networks guard against possible damage by
transients from external output devices.
External connections are shown for outputs 11,15, and 16. Weve added
a suppressor in parallel with two of the external devices for the purpose
of contact protection. Contact protection is discussed on Page 19-9.
In cases where you need to limit the effects of leakage current, add a
resistor in parallel with the load as indicated in the diagram.
Since the output contacts are isolated from each other, each output
circuit can be wired independently, with its own ground return. You can
apply a different voltage in each output circuit, as your application
might require. Power or ground wires can be jumpered between sets of
terminals if desired.
You should provide appropriate fusing to protect the output devices and
wiring from short circuits and overload conditions.

Output Wiring
Connections
-SLC150
Wiring connections are shown on Pages 20-14 and 20-15. Note that each
processor and expansion unit has two isolated groups of outputs plus two
additional isolated hard contact relay outputs.
Triac Outputs: Triac outputs include optical isolation as well as MOV
protection to guard against possible damage by transients from external
outputs. Triac output firing can be synchronized with the AC line to
accomplish zero-cross turn-on and minimize noise generated when
switching loads. This is accomplished by making instruction -{866)-
TRUE in the user program. If this feature is used, your scan time will be
8.3 msec (or some multiple) at 60 Hz and 10 msec (or some multiple) at
50 Hz. A common power source must be used for the processor unit
power supply and output circuits to achieve zero-cross turn on.
Since triacs turn off at AC line zero cross, it is not necessary to use
external surge suppression when switching inductive loads. However, if
hard contacts are connected with triacs to switch an inductive load, we
recommend using varistors for external surge suppression. Do not use
suppressors having RC networks, since damage to triacs could occur.
Refer to Pages 19-8,19-9 for further discussion on surge suppression.
Hard Contact Relay Outputs: Outputs at terminals 12-16 and
112-116 (A12-A16and B12-B16) include arc suppression circuitry (RC
networks) which protects contacts when switching inductive loads. We
recommend that you also connect external surge suppression to protect
the contacts from high transient voltage which occurs when an inductive
device is switched off.
Hard contact relay outputs at terminals 11 and 111 (All and Bll) do not
include internal arc suppression. Contact protection/surge suppression:
See Pages 19-8,19-9.
Transistor Outputs: Catalog Numbers 1745-LP154and 1745-El54
have current sourcing (PNP) transistor outputs. Catalog Numbers
1745-LP157 and 1745-E157 have current sinking (NPN) transisitor
outputs.
We recommend that you connect external surge suppression to protect
transistors from the high transient voltage which occurs when an
inductive device is turned off. An IN4004 diode is acceptable for most
applications. Refer to Pages 19-8,19-9 for further discussion on surge
suppression.
Fusing: You should provide appropriate fusing to protect output
devices and wiring from short circuits and overload conditions. Refer to
Chapter 18, Page 18-9 for recommended fusing.

Chapter Start-Up
General Start-up involves the following procedures, to be carried out in sequence:
A. Inspect the installation before power is connected.
B. Disconnect motors and other devices which cause machine motion.
C. Test inputs.
D. Test outputs.
E. Enter and verify your program.
F. Test the system with motors and other motion-causing devices
reconnected.
G. Go thru a dry run of the application.
The purpose of these procedures is to isolate such problems as wiring
mistakes, equipment malfunction, and programming errors in a
systematic, controlled manner.
We urge you to go thru these procedures very carefully. This will help
avoid possible personal injury and equipment damage.
Do not attempt system start-up until you are thoroughly familiar with
the controller components and programming/editing techniques
discussed in earlier chapters. You must also be thoroughly familiar
with the particular application.
Note: For general recommendations concerning installation safety
requirements and safety related work practices, refer to NFPA 70E,
Electrical Safety Requirements for Employee Workplaces.
SLC PERSONAL COMPUTER SOFTWARE USERS: This chapter is written with the
assumption that you will be using a pocket programmer in the start-up procedures.
If you are using the SLC Persona! Computer Software, you will find that the multi
rung display and monitoring capabilities are valuable tools. However, the SLC
Personal Computer Software does not allow you to use the FORCE function as we
recommend in this chapter.
Inspecting the You can often prevent serious problems in later test procedures by first
Installation (A) making a thorough physical inspection. We recommend that you:
1. Make sure that the controller and all other devices in the system are
securely mounted.
2. Check all wiring, including: connections from the main disconnect to
the controller input; the master control relay/emergency stop circuit;
input device circuits; output device circuits; expansion cables.
Make certain that all wiring connections are correct and that there
are no missing wires. Check the tightness of all terminals to make
certain wires are secure.
3. Measure the incoming line voltage to be certain that it corresponds to
controller requirements and that it falls within the specified voltage
range. See specifications for input voltage ranges.

Disconnecting Motion-
Causing Devices (B)
Testing Inputs (C)
Start-Up
In the following test procedures, the controller will be energized. As a
safety precaution, you must make certain that machine motion will not
occur. The preferred way to disconnect a motion-causing device such as
a motor is to disconnect the motor wires at the motor starter or the motor
itself. In this way, you can test the operation of the starter coil,
verifying that your output circuit is wired correctly and functioning.
Similarly, the preferred way to disconnect a solenoid is to disengage the
valve, leaving the coil connected.
In some instances, you may not be able to disconnect a device the
preferred way. In this case, it will be necessary to open the output
circuit at some convenient point.
For circuit testing purposes, it is best to open the circuit at a point as
close as possible to the motion-causing device. For example, your output
might be a relay coil which in turn energizes a motor starter; if it is
impractical to disconnect the motor wires, the next best thing to do is to
open the circuit at a point between the motor starter and the relay
contact.
WARNING: Machine motion during system checkout can be
hazardous to personnel. During the following checkout procedures
C, D, and E, you must disconnect all devices which, when energized,
might cause machine motion.
When you are certain that machine motion can not occur with the
controller energized, you can begin testing inputs. Follow these steps:
1. Energize the controller.
2. Connect the pocket programmer and enter the Clear Memory mode
(mode 1). Press ENTER when the display prompts you with SurE ? A
clear memory is necessary for this test.
3. The controller will enter the Program mode automatically when the
memory is cleared.
Enter the test rung shown below. The Examine ON instruction
should be assigned the address corresponding to the first input you
will test. The Output instruction should be assigned an internal
address, 701, to avoid involving output circuits at this time.

5. Manually close and open the addressed input device. Use a wooden
stick for this purpose, as recommended below.
WARNING: Never reach into a machine to actuate a switch,
since unintentional machine motion can occur. Use a wooden
stick or some other non-conductive device to guard against
personal injury and electrical shock.
Observe the ON LED indicator on the pocket programmer and status
LED on the processor or expansion unit. The LEDs should be ON (lit)
when the input device is closed, and OFF when the input device is
open. Say for example the first input device you wanted to test was an
Examine ON instruction at address 001 in rung 1. When input 001 is
ON, the display on the programmer would look like this:

DATA MODE
Cursor to the output instruction at address 701. It should be ON
when the input device is ON.
If the ON LED and test rung respond properly, testing of the first
input is complete. Repeat this procedure for each input. To save time,
begin at step 3, by entering the Program mode. Remove the Examine
ON instruction of the test rung, and insert a new Examine ON
instruction with the appropriate address.
We recommend that you do not program multiple rungs. This is a
potential source of confusion and errors.
Troubleshooting: Ifa status indicator on the processor or expansion
unit or the ON LED on the programmer fails to go ON when it should,
check the following:
a) The input terminal power source.
b) The input circuit wiring.
c) The input device itself.
d) The expansion unit connection.
if the source of the problem is not found to be in a), b), c), or d), try
connecting to another input terminal. If the problem still exists, the
processor unit or pocket programmer may need replacement. Contact
your local Allen-Bradley representative.

5. Move the cursor to the output instruction. Force this instruction
address to the ON state, using the Force ON function. The FORCE
LED on the programmer should be lit. Also, the FORCED I/O

If the LED status indicators, and output device functioned properly,
testing of the first output is complete. Repeat this procedure for each
output. To save time, begin at step 3, by entering the Program mode,
deleting the test rung, and re-entering it with the appropriate output
address.
We recommend that you do not program multiple rungs. This is a
potential source of confusion and errors.
Troubleshooting: If the output terminal LED status indicator does not
go ON and the output device does not energize, try another output
terminal and check the expansion unit connection. If the problem still
exists, the processor unit or pocket programmer may need replacement.
Contact your local Allen-Bradley representative.
If the output terminal status indicator goes ON but the output device
fails to operate, check:
a) The output terminal power source.
b) The output circuit wiring.
c) The output device itself.
If the source of the problem is not found to be in a), b), or c), the processor
unit or pocket programmer may need replacement. Contact your local
Allen-Bradley representative.
After all inputs and outputs have been tested and are functioning
properly, you can enter your program in the processor RAM memory.
Before entering your program, enter mode 1 and follow the prompting
message to clear the processor RAM memory. The processor will enter
the Program mode automatically when memory is cleared. Enter your
program using the keystroke sequences you have become familiar with
in previous chapters. Careful program entering will reduce the chance
of program related problems.
Program Verification - After the program has been entered, it must
be verified. Each instruction and rung must be closely checked for
errors before the controller is placed into operation. Check your written
program, rung for rung, against the program you have just entered into
the processor RAM. Use the NEXT and LAST keys to step through your
program and check addresses and other information associated with
your instructions. The most common mistakes in program entry are:
Incorrect addressing of instructions.
Omission of an instruction or rung.
Mistaken entry of the same output instruction and address twice in a
program. This will cause the first output instruction to be ignored.
Program Checkout Using the Test-Single Scan Mode - After the
user program has been entered and verified, the Test-Single Scan mode
(mode 4) can be used to verify correct operation of the user program.
This mode allows you to step through the sequence of events that are to
be executed by your program.
21-6
Chapter Start-Up
Entering and Testing
Your Program (E)
(continued)
When the controller is placed in the Test-Single Scan mode, the
processor unit will complete one scan of the user program each time the
ENTER key is pressed. Controller outputs are disabled in this mode,
however execution of the user program can be monitored with the
programmer. Timer and time driven sequencer accumulated values will
be incremented by 0.1 for each scan of the user program if rung
conditions are correct. To check out the user program using the Test-
Single Scan mode follow the steps below.
1. Place the controller in the Test-Single Scan mode using the pocket
programmer.
2. Use the cursor keys to display the output instruction or ladder rung
that you wish to monitor.
3. Simulate the input conditions necessary to execute the first step of the
user program. If it is not practical to manually activate the input
device, use the FORCE function to simulate the proper condition.
4. As you simulate the input conditions that will make rung 1 TRUE,
the status of your input devices changes state but you will not be able
to see this change updated on the programmer until the ENTER key
is pressed. Press the ENTER key and monitor the programmer
display to verify correct operation of the user program.
Say for example your first rung is an Examine ON instruction and an
Output Energize instruction. You could simulate the ON condition
necessary to make the Examine ON instruction TRUE. The ON LED
for the examine instruction would not be lit until you press the
ENTER key. When you turn the input device OFF, the Examine ON
instruction will continue to remain TRUE (ON LED lit), until the
ENTER key is pressed again.
5. Repeat steps 2 thru 4 for each step of your program to verify that the
user program is executed correctly.
Motion Checkout (F) Now that program execution has been verified, checkout of machine
motion can begin. All persons involved with the programming,
installation, layout design, machine or process design and maintenance
should be involved in making decisions for determining the best and
safest way to test the total system.
The following procedures are general in nature. Individual conditions
may warrant their modification. The basic approach is to initiate
testing with the least amount of machine motion. Only some outputs
are allowed to generate machine motion. Then additional machine
motion can be added gradually, thereby allowing any problems to be
. detected more easily under controlled conditions. The following
procedure gives steps for testing machine motion using one output at a
time.
Chapter
Motion Checkout (F)
(continued)
Dry Run (G)
Start-Up
21-7
WARNING: During all phases of motion checkout, station a person
ready to operate an Emergency Stop Switch if necessary. The
Emergency Stop Switch will de-energize the master control relay
and remove power from the machine. This circuit must be hard
wired only; it must not be programmed.
Procedures are as follows:
1. Identify the first output device to be tested and reconnect its wiring.
WARNING: Contact with AC line potential may cause injury to
personnel. When reconnecting wiring, make sure that AC power
disconnect switch is opened.
2. Place the controller in the Run mode and observe the behavior of the
output device. To do this, simulate the input conditions necessary to
energize the output in the program. If it is not practical to manually
activate an input device, use the FORCE function to simulate the
proper input condition.
Repeat steps 1 and 2, testing each output device, one at a time.
After thoroughly checking out the controller system and program,
proceed with a dry run of the application with all output devices
enabled. This dry run will vary with the application. A machine tool
dry run would test the program with all outputs enabled but without
tooling an actual piece part. After the entire system is checked out, and
your dry run has been completed satisfactorily, we recommend that you
load your program into an EEPROM memory module for back-up
program storage. Refer to Page 17-3 for directions on loading the
EEPROM from RAM. This step completes start-up procedures. Your
SLC Programmable Controller is now ready for operation.
Chapter Maintenance and
Troubleshooting
General The SLC controller has been designed to simplify maintenance and
troubleshooting procedures. By observing the diagnostic indicators on
the front of the processor unit, the majority of faults can be located and
corrected. These indicators, along with error codes displayed on the
programmer and PC software screen, help trace the source of the fault to
the users input/output devices, wiring, or the controller.
SLC PERSONAL COMPUTER SOFTWARE USERS: This chapter is written with the
assumption that you will be using a pocket programmer in certain troubleshooting
procedures. You can also use the SLC Personal Computer Software, except in
instances where we suggest using the FORCE function. The SLC Personal Computer
Software does not allow you to use the FORCE function.
Safety
Considerations
Safety considerations are an important element of proper trouble
shooting procedures. Actively thinking about the safety of yourself and
others, as well as the condition of your equipment, is of primary
importance. Several safety areas are discussed below.
Power Supplies: Before working on a power supply, always remove
the AC power source at the main power disconnect switch. When using
more than one power supply, be sure to disconnect all of them.
Replacing Fuses: When replacing a fuse, be sure to remove all power
from the system.
Main Power Disconnect: The main power disconnect switch should be
located where operators and maintenance personnel have quick and
easy access to it. Ideally, the disconnect switch is mounted on the
outside of the enclosure, so that it can be accessed without opening the
enclosure. In addition to disconnecting electrical power, all other
sources of power (pneumatic and hydraulic) should be de-energized
before working on a machine or process controlled by an SLC controller.
Activating Devices When Troubleshooting: When troubleshooting,
never reach into the machine to actuate a device. Unexpected machine
motion could occur. Use a wooden stick. A metal rod is more likely to
damage the machine and could conduct electricity back to you.
Stand Clear of Machine: When troubleshooting any controller
problem, have all personnel remain clear of the machine. The problem
could be intermittent, and sudden unexpected machine motion could
occur. Have someone ready to operate an emergency stop switch in case
it becomes necessary to shut off power to the machine.
Program Alteration: There are several causes of alteration to the user
program, including extreme environmental conditions, Electromagnetic
Interference (EMI), improper grounding, improper wiring connections,
and unauthorized tampering. If you suspect the memory has been
altered, check the program against an approved version such as on an
EEPROM memory module.
22
222
Chapter Maintenance and Troubleshooting
Safety
Considerations
(continued)
Hardware Redundancy: Circuits installed on the machine for safety
reasons, like overtravel limit switches, stop push buttons, and
interlocks, should always be hard-wired directly to the master control
relay. These devices must be wired in series so that when any one device
opens, the master control relay is de-energized thereby removing power
to the machine. Never alter these circuits to defeat their function.
Serious injury or machine damage could result.
Power Distribution: There are some points about power distribution
that you should be aware of. First, the master control relay must be able
to inhibit all machine motion by removing power to the machine I/O
devices when the relay is de-energized.
Second, if you are using a DC power supply, interrupt the load side
rather than the AC line power. This avoids the additional delay of
power supply turn-on and turn-off. The DC power supply should be
powered directly from the fused secondary of the transformer. Power to
the DC input and output circuits is connected through a set of master
control relay contacts.
Periodic Tests of Master Control Relay Circuit: Any part can fail,
including the switches in a master control relay circuit. The failure of
one of these switches would most likely cause an open circuit which
would be a safe power-off failure. However, if one of these switches
shorts out, it no longer provides any safety protection. These switches
should be tested periodically to assure they will stop machine motion
when needed.
Pteven tive The printed circuit boards of the controller must be protected from dirt,
Maintenance oil, moisture and other airborne contaminants. In order to protect these
boards, the controller must be installed in an enclosure suitable for the
environment. The interior of the enclosure should be kept clean and the
enclosure door should be kept closed whenever possible.
Regularly inspect your terminal connections for tightness. Loose
connections may cause improper functioning of the controller or damage
the components of the system.
WARNING: To ensure personal safety and to guard against
damaging equipment, inspect connections with incoming power
OFF.
The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) gives
recommendations for electrical equipment maintenance. Refer to article
70B of the NFPA for general requirements regarding safety related
work practices.

The wiring terminal blocks can be removed to allow replacement of the
processor unit without removing power supply, input, or output wiring.
To remove a terminal block, back out the two screws located at the ends
of the terminal block. Alternate between the two screws, backing out
about five turns at a time. This will help avoid binding.
To replace the terminal block, align the terminal block screws with the
holes on the chassis. Alternate between the two screws, as you did when
removing the terminal block. Press on the center of the terminal block
as you tighten the screws to help guard against an improper seat.
^ ^ ChaptertjtMaintenance and Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting If installation and start-up procedures detailed in Chapters 19, 20, and
21 were followed closely, your SLC controller will give you reliable
service. If a problem should occur, the first step in the troubleshooting
procedure is to identify the problem and its source. Do this by observing
your machine or process and by monitoring the diagnostic indicators on
the controller. By doing this, the source of a problem can generally be
narrowed down to the processor/expansion unit, wiring, or the
input/output devices.
If a problem should occur within the processor/expansion unit, we
recommend that you start troubleshooting the following areas.
Power Supply The power supply is located in the processor/expansion unit. Its purpose
is to convert incoming power to the logic level voltage required by the
processor/expansion unit, programmer and EEPROM module. The DC
POWER green LED indicator on the front of the processor/expansion
unit is ON when the proper logic level voltage is at the output of the
power supply. If the DC POWER indicator is not illuminated when
incoming power is available, the following should be checked to identify
the source of the problem:
1. Incoming power wiring and connections.
2. Power supply fuse. See Pages 22-5 and 22-6 for replacement
procedures.
3. Incoming power voltage level. See following paragraph.
Incoming Voltage Monitor: The power supply monitors the voltage at
the incoming power terminals:
Specified Voltage Allowable Range
115VAC 85-132VAC
230VAC 170-265VAC
24VDC 18-30VDC
If the incoming voltage falls outside the allowable voltage range, the PC
RUN indicator on the processor unit will extinguish and all outputs will
be disabled. Note that the DC POWER indicator might not be
extinguished because the voltage could be sufficient for the power
supply to provide the necessary logic level voltage.
Chapter
22
22-5
Processor Restart Switch
Power Supply Fuse
Replacement
The restart switch (MAN/AUTO) on the processor can be used in
conjunction with the incoming voltage monitor feature to aid in
troubleshooting the controller. When the incoming voltage monitor
detects abnormal line voltage, it shuts the processor down. The
processor restart switch (MAN/AUTO) setting determines what happens
when power is restored to acceptable levels. (The processor must have
been in the Run mode when the outage occurred.)
If you place the restart switch in the Manual (MAN) position, the pro
cessor will not automatically enter the Run mode on power-up. Instead,
the processor goes through its normal diagnostic tests, but the outputs
remain disabled. To enter the Run mode, you must move the restart
switch to the Automatic (AUTO) position or use the pocket programmer.
This feature provides you with the additional safety of manually
restarting the controller when you want.
In the AUTO position, upon power-up, the processor goes through its
normal diagnostic tests then automatically enters the Run mode. (The
processor must have been in the Run mode when power was removed.)
Under normal power-up conditions, the DC POWER indicator will
illuminate. If a power supply fuse is blown, the DC POWER indicator
will not illuminate. One of the following conditions could cause a blown
power supply fuse:
Excessive line voltage.
Internal power supply malfunction.
CAUTION: Use only replacement fuses of the type and rating
specified for the unit. Improper fuse selection may result in
equipment damage.
WARNING: Contact with AC line potential may cause injury to
personnel. Remove system power before attempting fuse
replacement.

3. Locate the fuse. Use a miniature fuse puller to grip the fuse and
remove it from its holder. Discard this fuse and replace it with the
recommended replacement fuse.
4. Replace the cover and tighten the screws. Do not over tighten.
6. Restore power. The DC POWER indicator should now be lit.
Replacement Procedure - SLC 150 Units: See Figure 22.1.
1. Disconnect line power to processor/expansion unit.
2. Remove the fuse compartment cover.
3. Remove fuse holder. Push the handle to the left, then pull outward.
4. Remove the fuse from its holder and replace it with a recommended
replacement fuse.
5. Place the fuse holder back into its compartment. Push inward until it
locks into place. You may first have to shift the position of the wires.
6. Replace the fuse compartment cover.
7. Restore power. The DC Power indicator should now illuminate.

The processor continually monitors itselffor any problems that might
cause the controller to improperly execute the user program. A built-in
"watch-dog timer circuit will time out if a processor hardware
malfunction occurs. Errors in memory data are also detected through
built-in diagnostic routines.
If a processor hardware malfunction or a memory data error is detected,
the processor CPU FAULT indicator will light and outputs are disabled.
To clear a processor hardware fault, follow this procedure:
1. Toggle the processor restart switch (MAN/AUTO). If this does not
clear the fault, then:
2. Turn processor power OFF, then ON, If the fault still does not clear:
3. Connect the pocket programmer to display the error code. Processor

Error Code 27-2: The processor measures the input power frequency
each time you power-up. If the frequency falls outside the ranges of
57-63 Hz or 47-53 Hz, a processor fault may occur. The pocket
programmer will display error 27. When this happens, press the cancel
key; if the number 2 appears, the error is a zero-cross fault. (If you are
using the SLC Personal Computer Software, a message indicating a
Zero-Cross fault appears on the screen.)
Correct the fault as follows:
1. Remove input power to the processor.
2. Correct the input power problem so that the input frequency remains
within a valid range.
3. Apply input power to the processor.
Note: When you perform the corrective action above, retentive outputs
(timers, counters etc.) will remain in their last state when the Run mode
is re-entered. If you want the retentive outputs to be reset to their Off

e Onlyusethebatteryforitsintendedapplication.
Do not attempt to charge the battery. An explosion could result, or the cell could overheat
and cause burns to personnel.
Do not open, puncture, crush or otherwise mutilate the battery. The possibility of an
explosion exists and/or toxic, corrosive and flammable'chemicals would be exposed.
Do not incinerate or expose the battery to high temperatures. Do not solder the battery or its
leads. An explosion could occur.
Do not short together the positive and negative leads since the battery could overheat.
Dispose of used batteries immediately. Do not store used batteries longer than 3 months.
Chapter
RAM Memory
Battery Backup
(continued)
22-11
Battery Replacement - SLC 100: A lithium battery is housed in a
small compartment on the front of the processor unit. This battery
provides backup power to the processor RAM when external power is
removed. The battery provides backup power for a typical life span of 2-
3 years. Actual battery life span may vary depending on controller
environmental conditions.
The processor BATTERY LOW indicator will be lit when the battery
voltage falls below a threshold voltage. Replace the battery at this time.
You can replace the battery without disconnecting power or disturbing
normal operation of the machinery. Procedure:
1. Remove small compartment door on front of processor.
2. Remove battery from compartment. Unplug lead wires from
processor.
3. Connect new battery making sure that the slot on the
battery lead is correctly aligned with the key of the processor
units socket. Insert battery into compartment.
4. Replace compartment door.
Battery Installation or Replacement-SLC 150: You can install or
replace the battery, Catalog No. 1745-B1, without disconnecting power
or disturbing normal operation of your machinery. Procedure:
1. Remove battery compartment door from the front of the processor
unit.
2. If you are installing a battery in a new processor unit (battery never
installed before), unplug the battery connector and lead wires (red
and white) by inserting your finger into the compartment and pulling
up on the lead wires. If this cannot be done with a finger, you may
wish to use a needle nose pliers to pull out the lead wires.
2a. If you are replacing an old battery, remove the battery assembly
stored in the compartment. To do this, first pull up on the lead wires
and remove them from the compartment. The battery is held in
place by a small retainer clip on the right of the battery. Apply
pressure on the left of the battery with a small screwdriver or other
small tool to push the battery against the clip while pulling the lead
wires up at the same time. This will allow the battery to be pulled
straight out of the compartment. Unplug female from male end of
connector to disconnect old battery.
3. Connect a new battery making sure that the slot on the battery
assembly connector aligns with the key of the processor unit socket.
4. Insert battery into compartment minus side first (white lead wire).
Push the retainer clip to the side with the battery while inserting so
that the battery will fall to the bottom of the compartment and stay in
place with the clip.
5. Place battery connector and lead wires in compartment.
6. Replace compartment door.

Chapter maintenance and Troubleshooting
I/O Hardware When troubleshooting, pay careful attention to these general warnings:
WARNING: Have all personnel remain clear of the controller
equipment when power is applied. The problem may be
intermittent and sudden unexpected machine motion could occur
and result in injury. Have someone ready to operate an emergency
stop switch in case it becomes necessary to shut off power to the
controller equipment. Also see NFPA 70E Part II for additional
guidelines for safety related work practices.
WARNING: Never reach into a machine to actuate a switch since
unexpected machine motion can occur and cause injury. Use a
wooden stick. A metal rod could damage the machine and/or
conduct current to the person holding it.
WARNING: Remove all electrical power at the main power dis
connect switches before checking electrical connections or inputs /
outputs causing machine motion.
If the controller is operating in the Run mode but output devices do not
operate as programmed, most likely the problem is one of the following:
I/O devices.
Wiring between I/O devices and user power.
User power.
Identifying one of the above as a problem can usually be narrowed down
by comparing the actual status of the suspect I/O with controller status
indicators. This comparison technique is similar to procedures given in
Start-Up, Chapter 21.
Each I/O device has two status indicators. One of these indicators is
located on the front of the processor/expansion unit and the other is the
"ON LED on the programmer. These two status LEDs indicate the
logical (TRUE/FALSE) nature of programmed instructions
corresponding to connected I/O devices.
Testing Outputs: If an output device does not energize as expected,
observe the appropriate status indicator on the processor/expansion unit
to see if it is lit.
If the status indicator is lit but the output device does not energize,
check wiring connections between the wiring terminals and output
device. If wiring connections appear correct, use a test light or voltmeter
to check for power at the output wiring terminals. If there is power at
the wiring terminals, check your output device.
If there is no power at the wiring terminals, the processor/expansion
unit output relay may be faulty. Reconnect the output device to a spare
output terminal. If none is available, replace the output relay board.
If the status indicator is not lit, the logical status of the corresponding
programmed instruction is FALSE. Connect the pocket programmer
and monitor each instruction in the programmed rung and observe the
"ON LED status indicator on the programmer. A continuous path of
TRUE condition instructions must exist in order for the status indicator
to be lit and the output device energized. If a continuous path of TRUE
condition instructions does not exist, your problem might involve input
devices.

If you want to make sure that your output can be energized before you
start checking your input devices, you can use the Force function to
energize the output. Refer to Page 16-1 for information on using the
Force function. If the Force function energizes your output, your
processor/expansion unit is functioning properly. Move on and test the
input device that energizes the problem output.
A guide for troubleshooting output devices is shown in Figure 22.5.

Testing Inputs: If input hardware is suspected as being the source of a
problem, follow the procedures given below to isolate the problem:
1. Using the programmer, place the controller in the TEST - Continuous
Scan mode (mode 5).
2. The input status indicator located on the processor/expansion unit,
illuminates when the input circuit is receiving power; that is, when
the input device is ON. You should compare the actual ON/OFF
status of the suspect input device with its corresponding input status
indicator. To do this, manually turn the input device ON and OFF
and observe the status indicator.
Procedure continues on next page.

I/O Hardware Step 2, Testing Inputs, (continued):
(continued)
WARNING: Do not reach into a machine to actuate a switch by
hand. Unexpected machine motion could cause injury. Stand clear
of the machine and use a wooden stick to operate the switch.
If the input status indicator does not illuminate when the input device
is ON, check the following:
User power to the input device.
Wiring between input device and user power.
The input device.
CAUTION: Remove system power before checking electrical
connections or input devices.
If the input status indicator illuminates, go to step 3.
3. Using the programmer, place the controller in the Run or Test mode
(mode 3, 4 or 5). Compare the programmers ON status indicator with
the actual ON/OFF status of the suspect input device.
If the programmer does not show the correct status indication for the
suspect condition instruction, the input circuitry may not be
supplying the required logic level voltage. In this case, reconnect the
input device to a spare input circuit. If this does not solve the
problem, contact your A-B representative for repair or replacement of
the processor or expansion unit.
A guide for troubleshooting input devices is shown in Figure 22.6.

Pocket Programmer
Diagnostic Test -
Programmer, Mode 9
Communication
Problems (Error
Codes 10 thru 25)

22-15
The programmer can be used to program, edit, monitor and troubleshoot
the controller.
If no display appears when the programmer is initially energized, check
the following:
DC POWER indicator on the processor unit: If the LED is OFF, power
is not available for the programmer.
Interconnect cable: Check connections at programmer and processor
unit for proper fit.
If everything appears to be correct, replace the interconnect cable. If
this does not solve the problem, contact your A-B representative for
repair or replacement of the pocket programmer.
Error Code 55: If a programmer hardware malfunction is detected,
error code 55 will be displayed by the programmer. If this happens,
contact your A-B representative for repair or replacement of the
programmer.
When mode 9 is selected, the programmer automatically runs through a
series of diagnostic tests including:
1. Firmware revision number (displayed once at start of test).
2. LED indicators: Each LED is individually illuminated.
3. Digital display: Each segment of the digital display is individually
illuminated.
4. LED indicators and digital display combined: All indicators and LED
display segments illuminate.
In addition, the keyboard can be tested to verify that it is working
correctly. When a key is pressed, a unique numeric value is displayed on
the programmer.
You exit the diagnostic mode by pressing CANCEL CMD or by toggling
the ON/OFF switch on the programmer.
Error codes 10 through 25 will be displayed if communication problems
are detected between the programmer and the processor unit. Follow
the procedures given below to locate the problem:
1. Check the interconnect cable to insure it is securely connected at both
the processor and programmer.
2. Recycle power to the programmer.
3. Recycle power to the processor unit.
If the error code still appears, contact your A-B representative for repair
or replacement of the processor/expansion unit and/or pocket
programmer.
22-16
Expansion Unit Problem In the Run and Test modes, the processor unit will continually monitor
(Error Code 26) the expansion units that are connected. If a problem is detected with
any of the expansion units, the processor unit will shut down, all outputs
will be turned OFF, and the CPU FAULT LED indicator will illuminate.
Error code 26 will be displayed by the pocket programmer. If the above
conditions exist, your controller should be checked for the following fault
conditions.
1. Check program addressing and the number of expansion units
connected. If you have addressed an expansion unit that is not
connected, this error condition will occur.
2. Check the expansion unit interconnect cable for damage. Make sure
that all expansion units are properly connected.
3. Check expansion unit power connections and hardware. Make sure
that the DC power LED is lit on each expansion unit connected.
If items 1,2, and 3 above appear to be O.K., and the CPU Fault still
exists, the expansion unit may need to be replaced. Contact your local
Allen-Bradley representative for repair or replacement.
EEPROM Module If error code 51 is displayed by the programmer when programming the
Problem (Error EEPROM module, a malfunction has occurred in either the processor
Codes 51 and 52)
unit or EEPR
OM module. If this happens, try a different EEPROM
module. If the problem persists after replacing the EEPROM module,
contact your A-B representative for repair or replacement of the
processor unit.
Error code 52 appears when the program in the processor units RAM
does not match the program stored in the EEPROM module. The error
code is a cautionary reminder that changes have been made to the
program and the RAM and EEPROM no longer match. You can correct
this error in two ways:
1. Select mode 6, Store Program in EEPROM, and transfer the new
program into the EEPROM. The previous contents on the EEPROM
module will be deleted.
2. Press ENTER a second time to override the error code.
Note: Error code 52 will not appear if on-line data changes are made
while the EEPROM module is installed.

An SLC 150 and HSI module is being used to count cans in a high
speed packaging application. The cans pass a solid state sensor at a rate
of 200 cans per second. The solid state sensor is connected to an HSI
module. After 24 cans are fed into a case, the conveyor belt is stopped.
The full case is removed and replaced with an empty one. The conveyor
then carries the next 24 cans into the empty case This process may be
summarized in 2 steps.
Step/operation 0 - Conveyor ON, fill case
Step/operation 1 - Conveyor OFF, eject case
The conveyor is controlled by SLC 150 output address 111.
The eject solenoid is controlled by SLC 150 output address 112.
A limit switch at address 001 senses when an empty case is in position.
The empty case, once in position, will reset the process to step 0 and
enable the conveyor. Hint: Use a single shot reset so the HSI module
does not miss counting any cans.
Complete the ladder diagram and sequencer data table to perform the
application in 12C.

1. I/O scan.
2. l^rogram scan.
3. False. Output contact will go ON or OFF during I/O scan.
4. a) False. The time period is variable, as explained in d) and e).
b) False. Time period can be longer than one cycle, as explained in
d).
c) False. After the input terminal goes ON (any point in the
operating cycle), its corresponding status bit will not be set ON until
the next I/O scan, no matter where the rung is located in the program.
Similarly, the output terminal will not be set ON until the following
I/O scan, no matter where the rung is located in the. program.
d) True. If the input terminal goes ON early in the program scan, it
will take longer to reach the next I/O scan than if the input terminal
went ON late in the program scan.
Shortest time period: The input terminal goes ON just at the
beginning of the I/O scan. The output terminal goes ON one
operating cycle later
Longest time period: The input terminal goes ON just at the
beginning of the program scan The status bit of instruction 001
does not go ON until the I/O scan is reached, one operating cycle
later. The output terminal does not go ON until a second operating
cycle has passed.
Note: We are neglecting I/O scan length here, since it is very short
compared to the total operating cycle length.
e) True. Obviously, the more instructions in the program, the
longer the program scan This means that after the input terminal
goes ON, it takes longer to get to the I/O scan (when the status bit of
instruction 001 goes ON), and it takes longer to get to the next I/O
scan (when the output terminal goes ON).
Program content also has an effect on program scan length, since
some instructions take a longer time to execute than others.

1. True. The two zones may not overlap. Overlapping zones may cause
unexpected operation.
2. False
3. False. The ZCL zone allows you to select which rung conditions you
want to control output 012. If input 001 is ON, rung 3 controls
output 012. If input 001 is OFF, rung 6 controls output 012.
4. (b).
5 False. The program would operate differently with MCR
instructions. The lower MCR zone (rungs 5, 6, and 7) would always
control output 012. Also, under the MCR zone, any outputs which
were ON at the time the MCR took effect would be de-energized. In
a ZCL zone, these outputs would remain in their last state.
